Oklahoma State quarterback Hauss Hejny is expected to be out several weeks as he recovers from a left foot injury, sources tell On3’s Brett McMurphy and Pete Nakos. The TCU transfer is expected to miss at least five weeks and undergo surgery. A date for a return remains unclear.

Hejny exited in the first half of Oklahoma State’s season opener against UT Martin. A former four-star recruit in the 2024 cycle, he played in four games a year ago before taking a redshirt. Oklahoma State opens Big 12 play on Sept. 27 against Baylor and visits Oregon in Week 2.

Hejny was 5 of 10 for 96 yards and a touchdown in three drives Thursday night before his exit, rushing for 27 yards on four carries with a touchdown, too. Zane Flores came in for Hejny, leading Oklahoma State to a 27-7 win and throwing for 136 yards with a 65% completion percentage.

“I won’t give injury updates either way,” Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said after the win. “I never will know on those until the next day, anyway, but both of those guys weren’t in a position to come back. But I’ll know more on it later.”

Outside of Flores, true freshman Banks Bowen is the only other scholarship QB on the roster. Fellow freshman Mason Schubert is fresh out of Stillwater High School and is a walk-on who rounds out the depth chart at the position. Receiver Sam Jackson V has FBS experience at QB in his time at Cal and could step into at least an emergency backup role if necessary.

Oklahoma State visits Oregon next week for a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff on CBS.
