For several years, the Oklahoma football has fielded the most explosive offense in the nation. As we look into 2019, the chance of that changing is slim.
We already know that Jalen Hurts will get them the ball, but who will be at the other end?
Many know the NFL-built junior, Ceedee Lamb.
However, he isn’t the only talented wide out.
Charleston Rambo, Nick Basquine, Mykel Jones and Jaquayln Crawford headline the returning receivers behind Lamb.
Some freshman will be looking to make their mark on this offense. Trejan Bridges, Jadon Haselwood and Theo Wease are all true freshman that will likely see significant playing time early.
With these players, and others, Oklahoma might be home to the best receiving corp in the nation.
The young guns
Lincoln Riley has brought in some talented classes in his short tenure as head coach thus far. The group of freshman he has coming in this year might be the most explosive class to date.
Each one of these recruits were highly touted for their ability to take the top off the defense and should all see opportunities to do that on Saturdays.
Jadon Haselwood was the highest ranked of the bunch. As he was the no. 1 receiver in the country according to 247 sports.
Haselwood reached the top ranking because he has a unique combination of being able to high point the ball over the defender, along with the ability to beat out the defender through his quickness.
What makes him more dangerous, is his ability to break tackles after the catch. He can catch the deep jump ball or turn a two-yard slant into an 80-yard touchdown.
