Oklahoma has had a lot of success recruiting the quarterback and running back positions in school history. Though the style of player has changed from the dynastic eras of the Bud Wilkinson and Barry Switzer, Bob Stoops and Lincoln Riley’s Oklahoma Sooners attracted some of the best skill players the country had to offer.
Since the turn of the century, Oklahoma’s had some of the best offensive players the game has seen, as illustrated by four Heisman trophies, several other finalists and highly productive rushing attacks.
And now with Jeff Lebby running the show, Oklahoma is going to continue that run of highly skilled offensive players at the Palace on the Prairie.
The Sooners have a nice group of quarterbacks to work with over the next couple of years. Dillon Gabriel, Nick Evers, Davis Beville and General Booty are on the 2022 roster, and Jackson Arnold is coming in 2023.
At running back, Oklahoma is also looking really good with Eric Gray. Marcus Major, Jovantae Barnes, and Gavin Sawchuk on the depth chart for 2022. Four-star running back Kalib Hicks arrives in 2023.
While the Sooners continue their push for the 2023 recruiting class, let’s take a look ahead to see who they’re targeting in 2024.
