The past four seasons, the Oklahoma football success was based on outscoring its opponents. The object of the game, obviously, is to score more points than your opponent. The problem for the Sooners has been that the good teams have been able to slow down OU’s scoring machine, but the Oklahoma defensive unit has struggled […]
When Oklahoma football coach Lincoln Riley met with reporters at Big 12 Media Days in mid-July, it was a week before the story broke about OU and Texas in talks with the SEC. As a result, the focus of the media was on Oklahoma’s favorite status to win yet another Big 12 championship, what will […]
The Oklahoma football recruiting effort is gaining traction for 2023, with a top-rated athlete committing to the Sooners.

Lemon has picked to the Sooners over schools such as USC, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and a number of other top programs.
Lemon is an elite prospect with a frame of 6’0, 180lbs out of Los Alamitos, California.

His burst of speed, quick twitch and change of direction are all at special levels for a prospect that’s still only halfway through high school. His ball skills and body control are incredible — he’s smooth catching and running just as much as he is incredibly physical in run support and willing to dish out hits from the secondary. The former traits, however, seem to be his destiny at the next level, and the thought of the Nelson-Lemon duo connecting for TDs in Norman should excite OU fans.
