The seventh Division I FBS scholarship offer has arrived for Newton 2020 defensive end James Sylvester.

The Eagles' defender reported via Twitter on Wednesday of an offer from Oklahoma State.

Sylvester (6-4, 215) also holds offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Baylor, Oklahoma, SMU, and Texas A&M.

Last season, Sylvester was second on the team in sacks, recording eight. He also had 82 total tackles, including eight for loss. He was a part of a Newton defensive team that allowed just 9.6 points per contest and won the Class 3A Division II state championship in 2017.

Oklahoma State is 114-53 in 13 seasons under head coach Mike Gundy. The Cowboys were 10-3 overall and 6-3 in Big 12 play last season.

Sylvester, like all sophomores, is first eligible to sign with any team that offers him beginning in December 2019.
