Ruffcorn looks to be absolutely set up to have a fantastic season for Skip Johnson and company. After showcasing himself well last season, there is a lot of reasonable buzz around what he could be in 2021 as the expected anchor of the Sooners bullpen.
On the offensive side of things, Graham is a quickly rising star for Oklahoma. He burst onto the scene as a freshman a year ago, making an immediate impact and being one of the team’s best offensive players in the short amount of time they were able to play before the season cancellation.
The season is set to start just a hair over three weeks from now, with the Sooners hosting Southern at L. Dale Mitchell Park on Feb. 19th.
