J.T. Shrout, QB
The man charged with throwing the ball to Rucker is quarterback J.T. Shrout. Shrout transferred from Colorado in the wake of Deion Sanders’ massive roster turnover.
Shrout’s a redshirt senior who’s spent most of his career with the Tennessee Volunteers. He was a Vol from 2018-2021, playing in just eight games.
He transferred to Colorado last offseason, where he played in nine games, throwing for 1,220 yards and seven touchdowns.
Shrout has played against Power Five competition, so seeing a team with Oklahoma’s talent won’t be new. His offensive line returns three starters, so that should help. However, OU’s depth along the defensive line should be fully displayed, making his day miserable.
