There is a lot of hype and high expectations surrounding the Oklahoma football teams as we get set to kick off the 2021 college football season? And for good reason. This is a very good Oklahoma team, returning seven starters on offense, including arguably the No. 1 quarterback in the country in Spencer Rattler, and […]
With just over a week to go before the start of the upcoming college football season, ESPN’s Todd McShay unveiled his rankings of the top 50 players eligible to enter the 2022 NFL Draft. In total, three Oklahoma Sooners made the cut, including redshirt sophomore QB Spencer Rattler, who McShay considers the No. 1 overall prospect.
We’ve finally had some time to study the tape. Here’s a look at the top-50 prospects for the 2022 NFL Draft entering the season. https://t.co/bLXhydaJt5
In addition to Rattler topping McShay’s 2022 list, he also ranks junior EDGE LB Nik Bonitto at No. 12 and senior DT Perrion Winfrey at No. 29. Based on the raw numbers alone, OU is potentially looking at three first round picks in next year’s NFL Draft.
A trio of Iowa State Cyclones (LB Mike Rose as No. 20, DE Will McDonald at No. 36 and RB Breece Hall at No. 38), as well as TCU Horned Frogs CB Noah Daniels (No. 37), also represented the Big 12 in McShay’s rankings.

Reportedly, the Pro Bowler was dehydrated, which led to some cramping issues, according to his head coach John Harbaugh. Fortunately, it appears that he’ll be okay moving forward.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews seems to have left Ravens practice on a cart, then got an IV, collapsed and now there’s an ambulance involved. Hope he’s alright

In case you missed it, NFCA Freshman of the Year and 2021 NCAA D-I Softball champion Tiare Jennings tossed the first pitch for the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier this week. The California product was sensational for the Sooners in her first collegiate season, and she’ll be looking to raise the bar for herself and her team next spring. Boomer!
Earlier this week, the Big 12 Conference made an announcement detailing how the league will handle potential spikes in COVID-19 cases this season. Instead of postponing and rescheduling games like last year, teams will now have to forfeit if they fall below the threshold of available players, meaning an official loss in the W/L column for them and a win for the other team.
It’s been a crazy summer news cycle for the Big 12 Conference in the aftermath of the tsunami news that the Texas and Oklahoma football teams are picking up their ball and heading to greener gridiron pastures. Neither the Sooners nor Longhorns have abandoned the Big 12 yet. But come on, man, is their heart […]
No college player has been talked about more this preseason than Oklahoma football quarterback Spencer Rattler. If you didn’t know better, you would have thought he has already won the Heisman Trophy and locked up the No. 1 overall pick in the next NFL Draft — after all, hasn’t that become a rite of passage […]
The good news for Lincoln Riley’s 2021 edition of Oklahoma football is the Sooners are loaded with talented, playmaking wide receivers. The bad news is, the Sooners are loaded with a talented corps of game-changing wide receivers. In the past two months, Oklahoma has lost three wide-receiver commitments from its 2022 class, the latest being […]
The first thing that stands out about the Associated Press 2021 preseason college football Top 25 is the familiar names at the top. And Oklahoma football fans can take heart that their Sooners are right smack in the middle of that familiar grouping. The voters who participate in the weekly AP Top 25 rankings are […]
