Oklahoma football: Which Sooners are ready to breakout on offense in 2019?
Charleston Rambo, wide receiver
Waiting behind a future NFL player in Mariquise Brown, Rambo finally got a chance to show what he could do against Alabama as Brown was not 100 percent in the game. The former four-star recruit from Texas didn’t disappoint, catching three passes for 74 yards including a beautiful 49-yard touchdown from Kyler Murray.
Unfortunately for Rambo, he’ll likely have to hold off a pair of five-star players in Theo Wease and Jadon Haselwood to keep his presumed starting position, but iron has a way of sharpening iron and all three of these players should make each other better through a hard-fought spring and fall camp battle, which is bad news for every team on the Oklahoma football schedule.
Mykel Jones, wide receiver
Things just haven’t gone Mykel Jones‘ way much since he got to Norman. Whether it be injuries or waiting behind superstars on the depth chart, this highly-talented receiver caught 13 passes as a freshman and 14 as a sophomore (including an electrifying 55-yard touchdown catch and run in the 2017 Big 12 Championship), but the decision was made to redshirt the 5-foot-11 pass catcher.

Jones has a unique set of skills that allows him to play at any of the receiver spots in the OU offense and though he may be used as more of a utility guy, that shouldn’t stop him from getting the touches needed to put up some gaudy numbers much like many of his predecessors.
