Oklahoma running backs coach DeMarco Murray restocked his position group with a pair of talented four-star running backs in Jovantae Barnes and Gavin Sawchuk in the 2022 class. The Sooners’ leading returning rusher is Eric Gray after he ran for 412 yards on 78 carries during the 2021 season. OU also brings back scholarship running back Marcus Major who has certainly shown glimpses of potential to take over a leading role.
Murray and Oklahoma are constantly looking to the future, though, and intent on ensuring that elite talent always resides in the Crimson and Cream’s backfield. That’s why Murray and the Sooners have been in on Tre Wisner since last February.
OU originally offered the 5-foot-11, 180 pound running back from Connally High School in Waco, Texas, on Feb. 17 of last year. On3 national recruiting analyst Sam Spiegelman submitted an On3 prediction for Wisner to Oklahoma on Jan. 30. Now, On3’s Hudson Standish of Inside Texas is projecting Wisner to the Sooners as well.
