What Athlon Sports Says…

The receiving corps isn’t a weakness by any means, but Oklahoma can use spring ball to develop some options and sort out a pecking order at the position. Marvin Mims (37 catches) is the likely No. 1 target for 2021, with Theo Wease, Jadon Haselwood, Drake Stoops and Trejan Bridges expected to round out the top five options.

What Sooners Wire Says…

Rattler will have a plethora of options to target going through reads in 2021 with a depth-filled receiving corps. Head coach Lincoln Riley likes to line up receivers in multiple places along the formation to confuse defenses and spread out the football in a variety of ways. Oklahoma’s receivers are flexible and productive from multiple spots.
