7. Junior wide receiver Andrel Anthony

Oklahoma suffered a major blow with the season-ending knee injury to Andrel Anthony in the win over Texas. Anthony was having a breakout year before the injury.

Although now lost for the season, the Michigan transfer has been a huge contributor and a prime receiving target for quarterback Dillon Gabriel through the first six games. Anthony leads the team with 27 catches for 429 yards and an average of nearly 16 yards per reception. He has one TD catch, recorded in the win over SMU. He exceeded 100 receiving yards in two of the six games he played in (SMU and Tulsa) and had five catches for 42 yards against Texas.
