The trash talk began early for Oklahoma commit Latrell McCutchin.
Ranked a four-star recruit and the No. 66 player in the nation by Rivals, the cornerback committed to Oklahoma over Alabama on July 4. His commitment marked the first of two big recruiting wins for head coach Lincoln Riley last Saturday.
McCutchin began his Oklahoma career early, tweeting “Texas SUCKS!!! Ahhhh, felt good to say that,” just two days after his commitment.
Texas SUCKS!!! Ahhhh, felt good to say that🤣🤘🏾👇🏾

Several Texas players responded, including defensive back D’Shawn Jamison and wide receiver Troy Omeire. Both responded with a little smack talk of their own.

The Sooners and Longhorns showdown is currently scheduled for October 10, barring any changes or cancellations due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Next season, Texas will be led again by Sam Ehlinger, who is now a senior. It will be his fourth season with the Longhorns, and third with the starting role locked down.
Oklahoma will be restocking several offensive and defensive weapons. The Sooners will be missing leading receiver CeeDee Lamb, standout linebacker Kenneth Murray, consistent DL Neville Gallimore and Heisman runner-up Jalen Hurts.
The Texas state fair was officially canceled today, but no changes have been made so far to OU-Texas.
