The Oklahoma Sooners have had an interesting offseason — one that has seen their wide receiver room get a lot of attention. They have speed, they have route running, strength, and anything else you need to be a great wide receiver corps. That’s important when you have a quarterback with as little experience as Jackson Arnold does.
Arnold did not play much last season and is going into his second season in college, let alone his first season as a true starter. He plays in the toughest conference in college football, against the best defenses in the country.
So, he will need some guys to throw the ball to that can not only get open but be a playmaker after the catch, too. Luckily, head coach Brent Venables has done a great job of putting experienced talent around Arnold for the 2024 season and beyond, really.
With fall camp starting on Wednesday, July 31 for the Sooners, the team will start seeing exactly what they have for the upcoming season. They saw it in spring camp and got a glance during the scrimmage game as well, but the work they are putting in now is what’s going to lead into the regular season, where the Sooners are hoping to compete for a playoff spot.
The Oklahoma Sooners wide receiver room has a lot of potential to live up to this season.
