Oklahoma State freshman QB J.W. Walsh has been cleared to practice and play after an undisclosed injury kept him sidelined since October 20.
At one point, it was expected that Walsh would miss the remainder of the season, but that was changed to a three to five week time frame. The former starter shed his crutches and should regain the starting spot once head coach Mike Gundy is satisfied with his progress. Tue, Nov 13, 2012 09:21:00 AM

The father of Oklahoma State freshman QB J.W. Walsh explained that the injury his son sustained will not require surgery.

The report added that the injury will only keep Walsh out three to five weeks, which disputes head coach Mike Gundy's conclusion that it would be season ending. Still, expect to see fellow freshman Wes Lunt drawing the remainder of the starts, if he stays healthy.

Oklahoma State starting freshman QB J.W. Walsh will miss the remainder of the season with an injury sustained Saturday against Iowa State.

No specifics were given on the injury other than head coach Mike Gundy saying Walsh was hurt early in the game but continued to play through it. The Cowboys will now revert back to Wes Lunt, who was the starter at the beginning of the season but suffered his own injury. Oklahoma State faces TCU on Saturday.

J.W. Walsh - QB - Cowboys

Oklahoma State freshman J.W. Walsh is prepared for going through the 2012 season as the Cowboys backup QB.

There were some who questioned whether Walsh would stay after losing the quarterback battle to fellow freshman Wes Lunt, but instead he decided to use it as motivation moving forward. Right now, Lunt is just the better passer, but Walsh has been showing improvement. "He's gotten a lot better," offensive coordinator Todd Monken said. "He's throwing it a lot better. ... He's a lot more comfortable." Head coach Mike Gundy did mention there is a possibility for Walsh to be incorporated in a running quarterback package this season.

J.W. Walsh - QB - Cowboys

Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy hinted that the team will likely employ a running QB package featuring freshman J.W. Walsh.

Speaking on Walsh, Gundy said, "we have a freshman who's got a ton of ability... that brings a different aspect of the table (with) his strengths. We would love to find ways to get him involved." The package could be similar to what rival Oklahoma runs, but Walsh does not possess a massive frame (6'2/200) to dominate short yardage. However, Gundy believes Walsh is a savvy athlete that can bring a layer to the offense that did not exist in the previous two seasons.

J.W. Walsh - QB - Cowboys

J.W. Walsh is not considering a transfer after losing out to Wes Lunt as the Cowboys’ starting quarterback.

Speculation was running rampant in Stillwater following last Thursday’s announcement that Lunt heads into fall practice as No. 1 signal caller. There still may be some playing time for Walsh in 2012. With his talent, the coaching staff could construct packages specifically designed with him in mind. Walsh will be a sophomore.
