STILLWATER, Okla. — Oklahoma State has added 6-foot-11 center Philip Jurick to its recruiting class for next season.

Coach Travis Ford announced Monday that Jurick had signed a letter of intent to play for the Cowboys.

Jurick initially signed with Tennessee out of high school and redshirted one season for the Volunteers before playing the past two seasons at Chattanooga State junior college.

Ford says he expects Jurick — who averaged 10.5 points, 12.6 rebounds and 9.5 blocks for Chattanooga State last season — to help the Cowboys on both ends of the court.

Jurick joins McDonald's All-American LeBryan Nash and point guard Cezar Guerrero in Oklahoma State's signing class.
