While working towards the school’s fourth College Football Playoff appearance, Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb, Creed Humphrey, Jalen Hurts, Neville Gallimore, and Kenneth Murray finished with AP all-American honors.
Lamb was the only Sooner to earn first-team honors, as the other four players made second-team. Lamb has 1208 receiving yards on 58 catches this year. He has 14 total touchdowns and has posted four games with over 150 yards receiving in a Biletnikoff-worthy season.
Joe Burrow finished the AP first-team quarterback, and Hurts the second-team, a repeat of how the Heisman trophy ceremony went. Hurts finished second only to Burrow in Heisman voting, scoring 50 total touchdowns and accounting for 4,914 yards. Humphrey, the Sooners center, anchored the offensive line that helped Hurts achieve that.
Defensive lineman Neville Gallimore and Linebacker Kenneth Murray have helped Alex Grinch improve from being ranked 109th last year, to 25th this year. Gallimore has 24 total tackles this year, with 4 sacks. Murray has 95 total tackles.
The fourth-ranked Sooners face-off against No. 1 LSU in the Peach Bowl on December 28 at 3 p.m. CT in Atlanta, GA.
