Oklahoma State’s football helmets will look a little bit different this season.

The players will wear QR codes on their helmets this season that will link to the general team fund to increase the program’s NIL money pool.

The QR codes will be about 1.5-inch decals that feature each player’s name and number. They are not expected to be visible from the stands but are expected to be noticeable in close-up shots during broadcasts and photos posted online.

"It gives a chance for everyday fans across the world to have a real impact when it comes to supporting the NIL efforts for Cowboy football. I’m thrilled about this opportunity for our players."

While Gundy is thrilled about the opportunity for his players, he is not thrilled with agents continuously calling about NIL deals.
