The returners

Now to the guys who have already made a name for themselves and have put Oklahoma’s passing attack into the limelight.

It’s impossible to mention this group without talking about Ceedee Lamb. The star from Richmond, Texas has been making highlight reel catches for the sooners for two years and is not looking like slowly down any time soon.

Lamb is considered one of the most NFL ready receivers in the country due to his size and ability to control his body in the air. He has a nack for making incredible jumping catches and somehow maneuvering his body to land inbounds.

He can also outrun the majority of defenders put in front of him and catch virtually any ball thrown to him. Behind the shadow of Ceedee Lamb there are talented receivers starting to shine through.

One of them is Charleston Rambo, a redshirt sophomore from Cedar Hill, Texas.

Rambo was another highly touted recruit from the same class as Lamb and he started seeing playing time last year.

He took advantage of his opportunity in the Orange Bowl where he exploded for 49- yard touchdown. He ended the night with three receptions for 74 yards.

Showing the college football country what he could do on the biggest stage, while showing fans in Norman how much talent this team has. Look for him next year blowing by the Big 12 secondaries.
Behind the high flying receivers is Grant Calcaterra, a tight end who is essentially another receiver.
Calcaterra is a junior from Rancho Santa Margarita, California. Where he earned the ranking of the second best tight end in the nation.

He came in and started learning behind former John Mackey award winner, Mark Andrews. Andrews’ influence certainly has helped develop Calcaterra into the player he is today.
He has been a prominent red-zone threat and reliable check down target during the last two years.

But he has also showed signs of being able to out run linebackers and make plays downfield.
These three will look push this offense to even higher levels than the last two years.
