J.W. Walsh is smiling. Twice, he’s suffered a major

injury. Three times, he’s lost the starting

quarterback position.But Walsh is still smiling.That attitude has made Walsh

the epitome of “loyal and true” at Oklahoma State. He’s walked the brick sidewalks of OSU for five years as a student, and if it’s up to him, the Cowboys’ backup quarter-back will never call another place besides Stillwater home.

“It’s just a dream to play football here with all my friends and there’s no reason for me not to have a smile on my face,” Walsh said. “I’m in the position that not many people in the world get to be in. No matter what my circumstances have been since I’ve been here, not a day goes by that I don’t cherish what I have in front of me and

what I’ve been blessed with. I love the game of football, and I’ve been blessed to be able to play it. I’ve been around some great guys and a great organization.”

In January, Walsh’s career seemed to be at a low point after losing his starting role because of an injury. A fractured foot in the Cowboys’ second game of the sea-son caused him to miss the rest of his junior season. It was the second time a starting job was plucked away from Walsh after he suffered an injury.

He also lost the starting role dur-ing his sophomore campaign after throwing two interceptions in the first half against TCU in his fifth start of the season.

In 2014, eight games after Walsh’s season ended, Mason Rudolph made his debut. After three starts, Rudolph was given the starting quarterback role for 2015, Walsh’s senior year.

Walsh had two options: be a backup quarterback for the Cow-boys, or transfer and compete for a starting job somewhere else.

Walsh said the latter never crossed his mind.

“I think that type of team unity and unselfishness and commitment is often grounded in a young man early on, so you gotta give (credit to) his parents,

his dad being a very successful high school coach,” OSU offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich said. “Obviously, how he was reared def-initely had effect. I think, also, this community, this university, what Cowboy football is is also something you never want to walk away

from. It’s pretty special here. I think he understands that, so obvi-ously, he’s a very intelligent person for recognizing the opportunity that is here.”

The decision has paid off for Walsh so far. Through eight games, OSU has a perfect record and Walsh leads the team in touch-downs with 16 — nine passing and seven rushing. The OSU coach-ing staff has discovered a secret weapon: No. 4. Walsh’s number

is usually called during short-yardage and goal line situations. OSU coach Mike Gundy, Yurcich and the Cow-boys’ offensive staff spent the offseason devel-oping a special package to use Walsh’s ability to run and come up big in tough situations.

“(Walsh’s) role is very important to our team,” Gundy said. “We all have to have players that can make plays on

Saturdays in

order to have success. But there’s also a role for young men that want to be a part of a team and compete. There’s a trust factor. They’re tough. They understand the system. They love Oklahoma State football. He falls in that category.”

Walsh is often referred to as “backup quarterback,” but Walsh has proven he’s much more than that. In Morgantown, Walsh was deemed a hero.

The Cowboys were tied with West Virginia in overtime, and the OSU coaching staff trusted Walsh to lead the team, a gamble that paid off. The Cowboys faced fourth down in overtime, only 2 yards away from the end zone. Walsh took matters into his own hands and ran in for a touchdown to eventually give OSU a 33-26 win after the defense held off the Mountaineers.

Walsh’s heroics didn’t end there.

Two weeks later, tragedy struck Stillwater when a woman drove through the OSU homecoming parade and killed four and injured several others. The community was shaken.

Four hours after the incident oc-curred, the Cowboys took the field against Kansas. It was the team’s

against Kansas. It was the team’s job to get fans’ minds off the trag-edy. At 23 years old, Walsh began the healing process for 59,486 people. He found the end zone five times in the Cowboys’ 58-10 vic-tory over the Jayhawks. Five times, fans cheered because of Walsh and didn’t think about the tragedy that happened only two blocks away four hours before kickoff. Walsh also visited patients in the hospital the following Monday with 49 other OSU student-athletes.

“Our goal that day was maybe to bring a little light into some of the darkness that was going on,” Walsh said. “Maybe take people’s minds off the situation or ease the pain for just a little bit. Hopefully we were able to accomplish that goal.

“That’s what I think is so great about this sport we play. We’re on a platform to be able to help a situ-ation like that.”

One week later, Walsh contin-ued his on-field heroics at Texas Tech. OSU trailed the Red Raiders in the fourth quarter, 45-42, but that’s when Walsh took over and accounted for three touchdowns. The first time he touched the ball in the quarter, Walsh broke away for a 64-yard run and fell just short of the goal line. He scored the next play and gave the Cowboys a 49-45 lead with 12:04 left. Walsh eventually sealed the 70-53 victory on a second-and-8 play with 3:50 left in the game with the Cowboys leading by three. Walsh found

James Washington streaking up the middle for a 73-yard score and the duo’s second touchdown connec-tion of the quarter.

“I don’t know if anybody’s got a better job in college football than I do,” Walsh said. “I get to basically come in the game inside the 10-yard line and try to score touchdowns. It’s a lot of fun to have that job.”

Three times in four years, Walsh

was sidelined and stayed positive. Walsh had every chance to give up, and he’s now taking advantage of the role he’s been given. An unde-feated record. A top 15 ranking. A shot at a Big 12 title.

And the Cowboys couldn’t accomplish it without Walsh, the backup quarterback.

Faith has placed Walsh in the situation he’s in. Two injuries, but now, he’s healthy. He’s become the

backbone of a Big 12 contender. “Faith is a big thing that you

need to have in your life,” Walsh said. “Whether it’s spiritually, mentally, physically, you’re gonna have to have faith if you want to be successful. You have to have faith in your teammates, your coaches, your friends. You have to have faith in your coworkers. No matter what you’re doing, you have to have faith in everybody around you, and you

gotta have faith in yourself and you gotta have faith in the Lord.”

Intertwined with Walsh’s faith is loyalty. He’s battled through injuries and benchings, but orange blood runs through his veins. That’s why he calls Stillwater home and will for as long as possible.

“Ever since I’ve stepped on campus, OSU has loved me back,” Walsh said. “… There was never a doubt in my mind that I wanted to be anywhere else but here.”

Plans for Walsh after he leaves OSU? That day may never come. Walsh will attempt to receive a sixth year of eligibility from the NCAA this offseason. If that re-quest is denied, Walsh will follow in his father’s footsteps and pursue a career as a football coach, prefer-ably as a Cowboy.

“I’m very blessed to be able to play football and would love one more year to do that with all my friends and people that I go to war,” Walsh said. “If I get it, I’ll be ecstatic, and if not, I’m ready for the future and ready for the next chapter. It’s been a lot of fun.”

Oklahoma State fans eager to see Jawun Evans’ debut might have to wait another week.

Cowboy men’s basket-ball coach Travis Ford said Thursday that Evans, the team’s freshman point guard, is unlikely to play in the team’s exhibition against East Central at 7 p.m. Friday in Gallagher-

Iba Arena. Evans twisted his right ankle practicing earlier in the week.

“Jawun Evans is out; probably won’t play tomorrow,” Ford said. “… We don’t think it’s real serious, but that’s still kinda to be determined, but I don’t anticipate him playing tomorrow unless something really spec-tacular happens. Then we might throw him out there, but right now, it doesn’t look good.”

Thursday, Evans seemed confident in his ability to return to the court for the Cowboys’ official season opener against UT Martin on Nov. 13.

“It’s feeling good,” he said. “Taking it day by day, but it’s feeling better than what it was.

“Nothing major.”The Cowboys likely

will be missing a player Friday who has impressed throughout the preseason.

“He makes other people around him better,” Ford said. “He makes other people around him better. … With the ball in his hands, he’s a special tal-ent.”

For other players, Friday will be their first chance to face an oppo-nent in GIA other than their teammates.

Saturday, the Cowboys traveled to Wichita, Kan-sas, to play Wichita State, a team with a 65-5 record the past two seasons, in a closed scrimmage, giving Ford an opportunity to see what his team needed to improve on.

“We learned a lot in that scrimmage, learned a lot of positive things and a lot

of things we’ve gotta get better at,” Ford said. “It’s always good to get on the

court with some lights on, a kind of more game-like situation for us. We need it at this point. We’re a long way from being where we need to be, but we need to get in a game situation.”

They’ll get that chance Friday.

The Oklahoma State Department of Music recently opened eight practice rooms in the University Avenue fire

station. The eight rooms, on

the second floor of the fire station, give the music department 18 practice rooms for stu-dents to use.

George Speed, inter-im director of the music department, said there are about 170 music-major students. In ad-dition to music majors, any student involved with the marching band or taking private music lessons is able to use the practice rooms.

Because of this, there are hundreds of stu-dents sharing the music rooms, Speed said. The eight new rooms will be exclusively for music majors.

A couple of years ago, faculty came up with the idea to build practice rooms in the second floor of the fire station, which wasn’t being used, Speed said.

He said before the new rooms, it was almost impossible to accommodate all of the

students.“It becomes kind of

absurd, “ Speed said. “It’s like a clown car. How could we possibly serve all the students?”

The eight new rooms will help alleviate this problem, Speed said.

Thomas Tran, a music performance senior, ex-perienced the shortage of music rooms before the newpractice areas were opened.

“Until this year, if you wanted access to

Stillwater police are investigating a reported shooting at a Stillwater apartment complex that left one man wounded Wednes-day night.

The Stillwater Police Department received a call

about 7:35 p.m. reporting shots had been fired at the Cedar Oaks apartment com-plex, 4100 W. 19th Ave., SPD Capt. Kyle Gibb said.

Officers found Darian Jamal Cyphers, 20, at the complex with multiple gunshot wounds, Gibbs said. He said Cyphers was con-scious when officers arrived. Cyphers was initially taken to Stillwater Medical Center and later flown to a larger hospital, said Shyla Eggers, Stillwater Medical Center spokesperson.

Cyphers has no affiliation with Oklahoma State Uni-versity and is not a resident of Cedar Oaks, Gibbs said. Cyphers is believed to be a

Perkins resident, according to a City of Stillwater press release.

Preliminary investigation indicates the suspect knew Cyphers and the shooting was not random, according to the release. No weapon was recovered on the scene, Gibbs said. Investigators are pursuing several leads.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact SPD at 405-372-4171.

Police say Shooting at Stillwater apartment complex not random

a practice room in the Seretean Center during the morning or after-noon, you would either have to have a lot of luck and arrive right when someone else was leaving, or you would have to sit and wait in a line,” Tran said.

He said there were times he waited 45 min-utes for a practice room.

When Tran learned about the new rooms, he said he was eager to use them.

“I was beyond excited to hear that they were

adding a new addition of practice rooms on campus,” Tran said. “I was looking forward to the day when wait-ing for a practice room wouldn’t be part of my daily schedule.”

Carly Prince, a music performance senior, said she likes what the new practice rooms have to offer for stu-dents.

“I love the technology built into these rooms,” Prince said. “I can practice in almost any acoustical setting that I want as well as record

myself and play it back immediately using the panel on the wall.”

The practice rooms in the Seretean Center are not sound proof, and practicing in them is like practicing in a room with someone else playing, Prince said.

The new practice rooms are soundproof, Speed said.

Wegner Corporation manufactured and as-sembled the rooms on site.

The new rooms fea-ture a virtual acoustic environment system,

which reproduces the echo effects a performer would experience during a recital. The system can reproduce echoes from small rooms to large arenas.

Beyond the techni-cal specifications, the rooms also provide a visual addition to the department, especially for prospective students.

“Prospective stu-dents look at facilities,” Speed said, “(Prospec-tive students) look at pretty much everything about the facilities, from where they will be

performing, to where they will be practicing.

“Any of the faculty who welcome a pro-spective student to campus, always sort of cringe when we show them the basement,” Speed said.

The Seretean Center basement houses the 10 original practice rooms.

OSU is among other universities in the na-tion that have limited practice space for music students, Speed said.

“The new rooms have significantly improved the daily life of music

majors,” Tran said. “But they are only a tempo-rary fix to a bigger prob-lem. We had outgrown our facilities a long time ago, and we are anticipating the opening of the new Performing Arts Center.”

Tran is referring to plans for a $60 million performing arts center.

The new performing arts center will be at University and Hes-ter streets. Speed said the groundbreaking is scheduled for May.
