'Our chemistry is good': How OSU center Danny Godlevske settled in quickly with new team

STILLWATER — The key to a quarterback/center relationship starts with a good snap.

New Oklahoma State center Danny Godlevske wants that relationship to be perfect.

“He talks to me after every series, ‘Are my snaps good?’” Cowboy quarterback Spencer Sanders said of Godlevske. “He’s making sure his snaps are good every time.

“I feel like our chemistry is good. He knows he can talk to me anytime. We’ve built a bond not just as teammates, but a brotherhood.”

Godlevske gelled with his fellow offensive linemen quickly as well after transferring from Miami of Ohio in January. A sixth-year senior, taking advantage of the additional year of eligibility afforded players last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Godlevske brought a veteran mentality and plenty of experience to the center position.

With his addition, four of the five projected starters on the OSU offensive line will have started multiple Division I games. 

Godlevske’s experience allowed him to learn the Cowboy offense quickly, which was key in a critical position where making pre-snap calls for blocking schemes is necessary. 

“From spring ball, you saw that he had a work ethic like no other,” starting left guard Josh Sills said. “Coming from Miami of Ohio, not being at a Power 5 school, I’ve heard him mention it to me quite a few times that he feels like he needs to prove himself. 

“As far as gelling with us, it’s been great. He picked up the offense super-quick, knows all the calls. When we go turbo, he’s the first one at the ball, makes the call, gets set, and everybody goes off of him. 

“With his football knowledge and experience that he has… he’s getting himself in the best possible position to make our team successful.”
