‘I feel like I’m going to stay most likely’: Jalil Farooq still mulling over his future decision

While some have already decided what their next step will be, Jalil Farooq is still thinking it through.

The Oklahoma Sooners received good news regarding their two All-Americans, [autotag]Billy Bowman[/autotag] and [autotag]Danny Stutsman[/autotag], who decided to stay in Norman for their senior seasons. But not everyone has decided what their next step will be.

One of those still mulling over a decision is [autotag]Jalil Farooq[/autotag]. Farooq finished third on the team in receiving yards with 637 yards and second on the team with 41 catches. Farooq could return, which would add to an already-loaded wide receiver room.

While his plan is to play in the bowl game, he hasn’t decided what he’ll do after the game is over.

“I haven’t decided,” Farooq said. “I feel like I’m going to stay most likely.”

Farooq has been the team’s “Swiss Army knife” because he does multiple things for the team including returning kicks. The Sooners would return four of their top five in receiving from a season ago along with adding the top transfer wide receiver.

This fact along with [autotag]Jackson Arnold[/autotag] taking the reins at the quarterback position in 2024 has many fans excited about the future of the offense. Of the team’s top 10 receivers, Oklahoma will return seven as of right now.

For now, the Sooners have to wait and see what Farooq decides, but he would be another key piece to the success of next season.
