Baker Mayfield rewards walk-on

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback and OU legend Baker Mayfield awarded Sooners receiver Jakeb Snyder with the first-ever Baker and Emily Mayfield Walk On Scholarship, which is worth $10,000, according to a press release from the organization.

The moment Snyder received the scholarship was captured on video.

CeeDee Lamb NFL Top 100

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb became the sixth former OU player to be included on the 2025 NFL Top 100 Players with the No. 35 spot.

Lamb joined fellow Sooners Creed Humphrey (93), Joe Mixon (58), Baker Mayfield (50), Trent Williams (45) and Nik Bonitto (38). Philadelphia Eagles teammates and Super Bowl champs Jalen Hurts and Lane Johnson should also join the list eventually.

OU flipping WR

With options dwindling after four-star wide receiver Davian Groce committed to Florida over OU in the final moments, the Sooners are now searching for new options at the position to add to their 2026 class.

The Sooners are reportedly trying to flip Tulane commit Brayden Allen,according to Rivals' Steve Wiltfong. Allen is a three-star recruit and the No. 132 WR in the class, according to the 247Sports Composite.

OU currently has just one WR commit in four-star Daniel Odom.
