There is a ton of momentum to having a 2020 college football season these days. No definite signs, yet, but the season would start three and a half months from now.
Sooners Wire will be creating player cards for readers to be introduced to the 2020 roster.
Here is one of two No. 7’s on Oklahoma’s roster: QB1.
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Name: Spencer Rattler
Number: No. 7
Year: Redshirt Freshman
Position: Quarterback
Hometown: Phoenix, Arizona
Height/Weight: 6-foot-0, 191 pounds
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Lincoln Riley’s first ‘organic’ quarterback is expected to take the reigns over in 2020. Rattler was a five-star quarterback coming out of high school, the first such signing for the Sooners since Rhett Bomar in the 2004 class, per Rivals.
Rattler took a redshirt year, sitting behind Jalen Hurts. Although redshirted, Rattler saw live snaps in three of the allotted four-games to retain his redshirt season.
Against South Dakota, Rattler gave Sooners fans plenty to be excited about as he went four-of-four through the air for 50 yards including a touchdown and another 15 yards on two rushes. After going two-for-four for 23 yards against Texas Tech Rattler did not see another live snap until the Peach Bowl against LSU.
While the game was well in hand, getting College Football Playoff snaps can only bode well for the Rattler’s future.
