August 1st marked the first day that schools could extend official scholarship offers to players in the class of 2021.
Unsurprisingly, Lincoln Riley and his staff took full advantage, mailing out offers enclosed in a foldable, embossed packet. You can watch the full unveiling process below.

In addition to physical offers, the staff also provided players with individual graphical versions to share on social media, like the one posted by five-star QB Caleb Williams below.

The “official offer” sheet reads, “We certify that you possess the characteristics and abilities needed to succeed at the highest collegiate level, both academically and on the football field. These skills are more formally known as OUDNA!”
The characteristics are then listed out: “Integrity, Brotherhood, Dominance, Leadership, Unselfishness, Passion, Tradition, Perseverance.” They are followed by a signature from Coach Riley and an OUDNA stamp.
The other side features three diamond-encrusted chains, one with a Jordan pendant, another with an OU one, and a third featuring the nickname of the 2021 class, “LincUpXXI.”
