The Sooners' schedule is tough. It will be one of the more difficult slates in 2025. But there's no guarantee that the teams on their schedule will be as good as they were in 2024. Oklahoma, on the other hand, should be significantly improved as their offense gets much better under Arbuckle and Mateer.

This is a big commitment for head coach Brent Venables and his Sooners, especially when considering that the other programs in the running were College Football Playoff teams.

Staff members made their way to Jenks, Rejoice Christian, and Owasso to meet with coaches and players.

Xavier Okwufulueze from Rejoice and Tajh Overton from Owasso were also part of the OU visits.
