Oklahoma Sooners- Vegas Win Total- 10

Oklahoma doesn’t rebuild, they reload and despite some new faces sprinkled in some important areas, the Sooners have had no issues in the past of dominating this conference. Oklahoma is a legit bulldozer on the recruiting trail and if the hype surrounding Spencer Rattler is half true, this team should hit the 10-game mark easily. Prediction- Over 10

Top Prospects:

Creed Humphrey, C, 6-5, 307 pounds, Jr.: Humphrey is the heartbeat of this offensive line and the main reason it was one of the strongest in the nation last season. The former five-star Oklahoma native has been nothing less than outstanding as a Sooner and will be looking to repeat as a Rimington Award finalist, Big-12 Offensive Lineman of the Year and of course as an All-American. One of the best offensive linemen in the country, Humphrey may hear his name heard early on draft night.

Kennedy Brooks, RB, 5-11, 214 pounds, Jr.: Brooks is another high-quality All-American caliber player and is on the Doak Walker Award watch list after earning All-Big-12 last season. Brooks gained 1,011 rushing yards last season and will likely see a larger role with the departure of Trey Sermon. Brooks doesn’t have eye-popping traits, but is productive and very solid.

Adrian Ealy, OT, 6-6, 341 pounds, Jr.: Another former five-star recruit, Ealy was dominant last season and earned All-Big-12 honors and despite Humphrey getting all the attention, Ealy is another reason why this Sooner offensive line is so dominant.
