  04/23/20 - Kenneth Murray, Jr/2020, Oklahoma, 6-2, 241 (DS#1 ILB) + More +

  After making a trade with the New England Patriots, the Los Angeles Chargers selected Oklahoma linebacker Kenneth Murray with the 23rd overall pick in the first round of Thursday's 2020 NFL Draft. In exchange for the 23rd pick, the Chargers sent their second-and third-round picks to the Patriots (37th and 71st overall). The Missouri City, TX native is the first linebacker selected in the first round by the Chargers since Larry English in 2009. Murray (6-foot-2, 241 pounds) appeared in 40 career games for the Sooners, amassing 325 tackles (36.5 for loss), and 9.5 sacks. Murray earned third-team All American and first-team All-Big 12 Honors in 2019. He joins a linebacking corps that includes Drue Tranquill, Denzel Perryman, Kyzir White, Uchenna Nwosu and newly signed Nick Vigil, among others. - Chargers.com

  04/23/20 - *CeeDee Lamb, Jr/2020, Oklahoma, 6-2, 198 (DS#1 WR) + More +

  You've got to give the Cowboys credit on this one. I'll be honest, I've never truly thought teams actually lived by their "Best Player Available" stance. We hear it all the time, but to me, it's never truly accurate. Yes, teams will stick to their board at times, especially later in the draft when you just want to stockpile good players. But in the first round, with the 17th pick, and knowing there are some major holes on defense, the Cowboys truly went with the best player on their board and snagged CeeDee Lamb, a dynamic receiver out of Oklahoma. Were their better needs on the board? Yes. Were their better players? Nope. And that's why I give the Cowboys a lot of credit in taking Lamb, whom Jerry Jones said was the No. 6 overall player on their draft board heading into Thursday night. Lamb will fit into the Cowboys system as one of the top three receivers next to Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup. - DallasCowboys.com

  04/21/20 - Parnell Motley, Sr/2020, Oklahoma, 6-0, 183 (DS#28 CB) + More +

  From his senior season through the pre-draft process, Parnell Motley kept a quasi-checklist to further his football career beyond college. Motley, the 6-foot, 180-pound Oklahoma cornerback, wanted better game footage to show NFL scouts during his final OU season. "I wanted to display the best version of myself leaving out of collegiate football," Motley told reporters following his pro day, "and I most certainly did that." More specifically, he wanted to show a more physicality and said his coaches helped him achieve that with fine-tuning his technique. And while he didn't receive an NFL combine invitation, he felt his OU pro-day performance was solid.

"Overall, I'd give it about a B," Motley said. "Could have been better. A little rusty in some areas and things like that. A B+ or a B. Always want to be great in everything you do." Motley admits his disappointment with missing the combine. He was grateful to have a final chance to showcase his talents, however, especially with the Sooners' pro day happening the day before the sports world shut down amid the coronavirus pandemic. Had he not tested in front of NFL scouts when he did, Motley would likely have more worries this weekend. - Norman Transcript

  04/03/20 - Chris Murray, rSr/2023, Oklahoma, 6-2, 294 (DS#38 OG) + More +

  Former UCLA guard Chris Murray announced he is transferring to Oklahoma, padding OU's future offensive line depth. Without a waiver, Murray would have to sit out the 2020 season and resume play as a redshirt junior in 2021. He has started all 24 games the past two seasons for the Bruins. Last fall he made 12 starts at guard. As a freshman in 2018, he started his first three games at center and spent the final nine at guard. Murray was listed at 6 feet 2, 298 pounds last season. Before college, he was a four-star product according to Rivals.com out of Mater Dei (California) High School. He is OU's second transfer from UCLA in the past year. Receiver Theo Howard, a grad transfer, is also set to join the Sooners. - Lincoln Journal Star

  03/30/20 - Nick Basquine, rSr/2020, Oklahoma, 5-11, 202 (DS#105 WR) + More +

  Nick Basquine let out a small chuckle when asked how training's been going. Remember Tae-Bo? "I feel like I'm doing my Tae-Bo stuff," Basquine said. "I'm working out at home, running around the neighborhood. I'll do a foot ladder in my backyard. "Obviously you can't get as much high intensity as you'd like, but you try to make do considering the times." The former Norman North and Oklahoma receiver isn't the only football player making the best of a bad situation, preparing for an NFL career without the help of NFL-like equipment, or in some cases NFL evaluation.

With gyms closed down to mitigate spread of the coronavirus, all athletes are making do. But players who are have not been stapled as high picks in the NFL draft- which is still scheduled for April 23-25 - have had it the toughest. Many of the in-person workouts with NFL teams that provide valuable, deeper looks at their skills were canceled. Basquine feels like one of the fortunate ones. He was working out with former Memphis and Iowa State players whose pro days were canceled. also include psychological tests. That was Denver Broncos GM John Elway's concern. Right now the NFL is allowing only essential personnel in team facilities, and scouts have been taken off the road due to travel regulations. "There's a lot of information on the college side that we have not been getting," Elway said in a story posted to the Broncos' website. - Norman Transcript

  03/30/20 - *Creed Humphrey, rJr/2021, Oklahoma, 6-4, 302 (DS#1 C) + More +

  Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby and the conference announced that it will suspend spring football practice through May 31. The Big 12 announced Sunday night that it has extended suspension of team activities from March 29 until May 31 due to the coronavirus. This suspension includes all team and individual practices, meetings, and other organized gatherings, including spring football. The Big 12 had previously canceled competition against other teams through the rest of the spring semester. However, teams are still allowed to meet virtually and can conduct film study, technical discussions, tactical sessions and other non-physical activities, but such activities are limited to two hours per week. The suspension will be re-evaluated regularly and revisited or adjusted as circumstances dictate. - Waco Tribune

  03/30/20 - Jalen Hurts, Sr/2020, Oklahoma, 6-1, 222 (DS#7 QB) + More +

  The comparisons to Lamar Jackson were inevitable. Once Jalen Hurts arrived at Oklahoma last year and started putting up video game numbers in head coach Lincoln Riley's offense, the race to put it all into context was on. Sooners predecessors Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray were obvious comps. Both won the Heisman Trophy and were selected with the No. 1 overall pick. LSU's Joe Burrow took the Heisman out of the picture with one of the most impressive college seasons of all time. He'll also almost certainly be the No. 1 pick when the Cincinnati Bengals go on the clock next month. And that's where Jackson creeps into the picture.

His career was longer and more consistent at Louisville, but there were many of the same doubts about him coming out of college. The athleticism was readily apparent - and nearly impossible to stop - but did he have the arm to stress NFL defenses? Could he make enough plays from the pocket to allow him to take full advantage of his speed, strength and vision in the running game? General managers and head coaches looking to replicate even a fraction of that success could well turn to Hurts as a developmental talent with a pedigree of great success. "I don't put a ceiling on my ability in terms of how great I can be," Hurts said last month at the NFL Scouting Combine. "I'm definitely a student of the game and been able to adjust to all the different coaches I've been a part of. For me, it's about steps every day and being the best I can be." - Herald Bulletin

  03/29/20 - Kenneth Murray, Jr/2020, Oklahoma, 6-2, 241 (DS#1 ILB) + More +

  Kenneth Murray knows his early departure for the NFL leaves OU with one less playmaker on defense and one more hole at linebacker. But he wants to give the Sooners something to make up for that. He hopes to be the first OU defender picked in the first round of the NFL Draft since 2010, and while that'd be a huge deal for him personally, it would also give his coaches a huge selling point on the recruiting trail. "No doubt," Murray said at OU Pro Day. "Go sell it." If Murray gets picked on the first night of the draft, if Gallimore and Motley get taken the next night in the second or third rounds, those would be huge feathers in OU's cap. It would be validation of the difference these new defensive coaches can make in a player. It would be proof defenders have a path to the NFL through Norman.

Not in three or four years either. "It's happening right in front of us right now," Riley said. Kenneth Murray would like nothing more than to be the first Sooner defender since Gerald McCoy in 2010 and the first OU linebacker since Jackie Shipp in 1984 to be taken in the first round. But more than anything, Murray hopes he and his teammates reestablish a standard. "It's Oklahoma; that's an expectation," he said of getting defenders drafted. "Getting back to that expectation is definitely something that I'm looking forward to." - Daily Oklahoman

  03/23/20 - *CeeDee Lamb, Jr/2020, Oklahoma, 6-2, 198 (DS#1 WR) + More +

  This year's draft is full of strong receivers, including Alabama's Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs, Clemson's Tee Higgins, LSU's Justin Jefferson and Colorado's Laviska Shenault Jr. Lamb has still found a way to stand out. "He has an elite feel for space, for setting people up, getting separation on routes and also kind of that same feel of when he gets the ball in his hands of setting people up," OU coach Lincoln Riley said after observing Lamb's workout with former Sooner quarterback Jalen Hurts. "Combined with the body physically that he's been able to build here. He's really made himself really exceptional after the catch. I mean, he really has."

Lamb found the face-to-face interview part of the draft process "different." But it hasn't kept him from staying loose throughout. Being back at OU was even more comforting. His former quarterback, Kyler Murray, watched from the sidelines. Murray has advocated for the Arizona Cardinals to select Lamb so the two can reunite. "That option's out there, but I can't pick," Lamb said. "If I get to play with him I'd definitely be happy for sure." - Norman Transcript

  03/17/20 - Parnell Motley, Sr/2020, Oklahoma, 6-0, 183 (DS#28 CB) + More +

  Parnell Motley admitted to a cluster of reporters that he didn't really even like combine-style testing. But he didn't have a choice. "I just did it because that was a big question mark for me," the former Oklahoma cornerback said. "I'm just a football guy … [I'm] glad this is over and I can push this to the side and can get back to the basics." All indications are Motley took big strides his senior year at OU. That didn't do him much good when he was left empty-handed after NFL Combine invitations were mailed out. There was one remaining chance to impress scouts, and for Motley, Oklahoma's pro day last week arrived just in the nick of time. "That's why there are days like this," he said, "for people like us." A few hours after he finished his workout at OU's Everest Indoor Training Center, concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic began casting sports into its current dormancy. Two days later, pro days at universities across the country were being canceled. The NFL has banned in-person scouting. When and how the league draft takes place isn't totally certain, but scouts have a bigger file on Motley now.

Before, his 40-yard dash was the biggest question mark among his tests. Motley ran a 4.50 that was as good or better than 12 of the 29 defensive backs who ran 40s at the NFL Combine. "That's what I wanted. I hit it," Motley said, giving himself a "B or B+" grade overall. "I'm a press-man corner. I love to press, love to challenge the guy in front of me," he said. "Anybody can play zone and just sit there. It's hard to press that guy right in front of you. That's what I worked the most on. "That's mostly what teams are going to be looking for is press-man corners that are aggressive. If you're looking for them, I'm here." - Norman Transcript

  03/13/20 - Jalen Hurts, Sr/2020, Oklahoma, 6-1, 222 (DS#7 QB) + More +

  A few passes sailed out of reach, but they didn't concern Nick Basquine much. Out of more than 70 throws, former Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts was mostly on the mark. He and Basquine had rehearsed the workout for Oklahoma's Pro Day, but only briefly days earlier. What Basquine saw Wednesday was a much improved thrower, even since the end of last season. "Our first session throwing [was Sunday]. You could just see a lot of improvement," he said. "From his training and just the confidence he has in himself and his throwing mechanics, everything like that, you can see an improved player. Just how he's spinning the ball, the conviction how he's throwing the ball. "He was sure of himself, I think that was the big thing."

Hurts completed 70 percent of his passes last season at OU, his one and only campaign with the program after transferring from Alabama. He ranked ninth nationally in passing yards and second in passing efficiency. Questions about Hurts' accuracy, however, have followed him at both stops. He wanted this appearance - his first in Norman since the 2019-20 season ended - to help provide some answers. "I think it went well. Could've done some things better … You get nitpicky, you talk about certain ball placements, right? I want to hit the guy in the nose every time," Hurts said. "I want to allow him to put the biscuit in the basket, as the guy says on TV." - Norman Transcript

  03/09/20 - Baker Mayfield, rSr/2018, Oklahoma, 6-1, 215 (DS#2 QB) + More +

  Oklahoma will unveil a statue of 2017 Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield at its spring game April 18. Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley said the statue will be unveiled inside Gaylord Family Memorial Stadium before being placed in the Heisman Park outside the stadium. Oklahoma has seven Heisman winners. Five of them - Billy Vessels, Steve Owens, Billy Sims, Jason White and Sam Bradford - already have statues in the park. Kyler Murray, the 2018 Heisman winner, does not have a statue yet. Mayfield, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft, is the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. He left Oklahoma as one of the most efficient passers in college football history. During his Heisman season, he passed for 4,627 yards and 43 touchdowns with just six interceptions and led the Sooners to the College Football Playoff. - AP College Football

  03/07/20 - Kennedy Brooks, rSr/2022, Oklahoma, 5-11, 209 (DS#12 RB) + More +

  Oklahoma's run game is critical to its Air Raid offense, however incongruent that might sound. Lincoln Riley has made it a priority since he arrived in Norman. Running backs are among football's most injured positions, and the Sooners haven't been exempt from that. Rodney Anderson, Trey Sermon, T.J. Pledger and Kennedy Brooks - practically every meaningful scholarship back the past three seasons - has missed time. This fall, OU must work around the potential absence of Rhamondre Stevenson, a productive junior-college transfer who was suspended for the Peach Bowl and could miss more time in 2020.

OU's running backs totaled 2,506 yards and 30 touchdowns in 2018. They ran for 435 fewer yards and 13 fewer touchdowns in 2019, when the run game focused more on Jalen Hurts at quarterback. Hurts ran for a team-high 1,487 yards and 20 touchdowns. He is a rare breed in terms of what he can handle physically, so don't expect that kind of offensive focus this season. With redshirt freshman Spencer Rattler likely to take over at quarterback, the Sooners won't have the option, and they can afford to lean on running backs again. - Norman Transcript

  Oklahoma hired DeMarco Murray as its running backs coach Monday, bringing back the school's career leader in all-purpose yards, career touchdowns and kickoff return average. Murray starred at Oklahoma from the 2007 through 2010 seasons. The Sooners won three Big 12 championships during that run. Murray helped the Sooners reach the BCS national championship game after the 2008 season. Murray had a seven-year NFL career that included three Pro Bowl selections. He rushed for 7,174 yards and 49 touchdowns and racked up 2,165 receiving yards and six more scores as a pro. Murray was the running backs coach at Arizona last season. He replaces Jay Boulware, who left for a coaching job at Texas, his alma mater. - AP College Football
