Oklahoma’s scholarship situation heading into 2020 spring practice

Oklahoma is set to begin spring practice on Tuesday. Here is where OU’s scholarship situation sits heading into the spring.

The spring is near.

Lincoln Riley and the 2020 Oklahoma football team are well underway in winter workouts as spring practice is right around the corner. The Sooners are scheduled to begin on Tuesday and will practice at least until the spring game on April 18.

Oklahoma is as packed with scholarship players as it comes heading into the spring. Riley and the Sooners are slated to have 71 of the expected 84 scholarship players for the 2020 season in the spring. This includes ten members of Oklahoma’s 2020 recruiting class in junior college transfers Joshua Ellison and Perrion Winfrey, Davon Graham, Mikey Henderson, Seth McGowan, Marvin Mims, Noah Nelson, Andrew Raym, Bryson Washington and Shane Whitter.

The 2020 spring will be the second spring with Alex Grinch at the helm, but the first with his own recruited players. Grinch is set to return the majority of his defense, but did lose the bulk of his star power in Kenneth Murray, Neville Gallimore and Parnell Motley.

On the flip side, Lincoln Riley is dealing with a quarterback competition and a presumed winner. He returns all four of his highly-touted pass catchers from the 2019 recruiting class and four offensive lineman.

Here is where Oklahoma’s scholarship situation stands heading into 2020 spring football.
