Oklahoma fans won't believe everything about homegrown Greydon Howell, even if they might have seen this before in Norman.
Howell on Friday earned an offer from the Sooners after an in-home visit and has also already drawn interest from Skip Johnson for OU baseball. On the football field, Howell could play quarterback, running back, wide receiver and safety at the college level, while also excelling in baseball, basketball and track as a four-sport superstar at Broken Bow High School in Oklahoma.

Considering OU wide receivers coach Emmett Jones visited Howell when he got an offer, it looks like the Sooners want Howell as a receiver. However, Howell plays quarterback for Broken Bow and that's the position he's listed at by major recruiting services, which makes his recruiting ratings fairly inaccurate.
Rivals rates Howell, listed at 5-foot-11, as a three-star recruit and ranks him as the No. 51 quarterback in the 2027 class, but 247Sports has Howell unrated and unranked as a QB. Howell's long list of offers, though, shows he's grossly underrated. His offers include Arkansas, Auburn, Boston College, Miami, Oklahoma State, Stanford, UTSA and Tulsa.
Last season as a junior, Howell totalled 4,332 yards of offense and 47 touchdowns while also excelling on the defensive side of the ball. According to MaxPreps, Howell passed for 2,817 yards and 27 TDs compared to seven interceptions, while also rushing for 1,514 yards and another 20 scores. He also caught a one-yard pass.

Off the gridiron, Howell has tallied over 1,500 career points in basketball, won the state title in the 400 meters in track and is considered a Division-I outfielder on the baseball diamond.
Between being undersized and making up for it with his quickness, plus excelling as an outfielder with the potential to be a two-sport star for the Sooners, it's hard for OU fans to ignore the resemblance to Kyler Murray, who was a first-round draft pick in both baseball and football out of OU.
