Oklahoma State starting quarterback Hauss Hejny broke a bone in his left foot during the Cowboys' season-opening victory over UT Martin and will miss multiple weeks, the university said Friday.

A redshirt freshman transfer from TCU making his debut for the Cowboys in their 27-7 victory in Stillwater, Hejny had surgery on Friday, multiple media outlets reported.

"We're proud of the way Hauss played last night and wish him a full and speedy recovery," coach Mike Gundy said in a statement Friday. "I'm thankful for our medical staff and their ability to provide prompt, top-tier care for our team."

Hejny played the first three offensive series. He was 5-for-10 passing for 96 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown to Gavin Freeman. Hejny also rushed four times for 27 yards, including a 6-yard TD.

His running ability helped earn him the starting nod for the opener over Zane Flores, who replaced him on Thursday night. Flores went 13 of 20 for 136 yards and rushed three times for a net of eight yards.

Flores is a redshirt freshman in his third year at Oklahoma State. He did not see action in the 2023 season, then received a medical hardship waiver in 2024 due to a foot injury.

Oklahoma State visits No. 7 Oregon on Sept. 6.
