Former Oklahoma Sooners wide receiver Jeff Badet selected by the Michigan Panthers of the USFL.

While Oklahoma Sooners get ready for the NFL draft, the USFL is getting its league together with their initial draft for the 2022 season, which will kick off on April 16th.

Though no Oklahoma Sooners heard their name called on the first day of the draft yesterday, today has had some OUDNA involved.

Getting back to playing professional football is Jeff Badet, who was selected by the Michigan Panthers of the USFL.

Badet played just one season for the Oklahoma Sooners in 2017, collecting 26 receptions for 400 yards and three touchdowns. In three prior seasons at Kentucky, the former wide receiver caught 82 passes for 1,385 yards, and seven touchdowns. He started 18 games for the Wildcats and two for the Sooners before going onto the NFL where he played in three games for Washington without being targeted.

Badet is joined by wide receivers Lance Lenoir, Quincy Adeboyejo, and Ray Bolden.
