Oklahoma won their sixth straight game Saturday night in a 27-14 victory over Baylor in the home finale of the season. The win clinched the Sooners a spot in the Big 12 Championship Game against Iowa State set for Dec. 19th.
In attendance at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium were a couple of Oklahoma recruiting targets along with some signees. One of those targets, Emeka Egbuka, is rated as the top receiver in the country for the class of 2021 according to Rivals.
Highly-touted Sooner quarterback commit Caleb Williams was also in attendance Saturday night, and had this to say about Egbuka in his weekly blog:
“I spent time with Emeka, throwing probably for an hour,” Williams wrote. “I went on Instagram live for a little bit and then I took some videos of me and him throwing. He’s a really smooth receiver, like really smooth. He’s also a smart receiver. An understanding receiver. He understands what his QB wants, which is always good. So our connection, when we first started throwing, it was pretty easy to throw to him. Just understanding where the QB wants you — when that happens you normally get the ball way more than usual. He understood his routes, where I wanted him and like I said he ran really smooth routes and has really good hands.”
“It was fun throwing with him, we had a connection in the sense of on the field and off the field. We went and got some food, drove around the campus and we just kinda hung out, joked around and things like that — things you do as 18 and 19-year olds — chillin’ out, joking around other than school and working out. So that’s what we did. It was an off the field connection, too. We were in the car like we already knew each other in a sense. That doesn’t happen too often. You don’t always find somebody and connect as if you feel you’ve known him forever. I feel like I’ve known him forever and I feel like I’ve been throwing with him forever, too. It was awesome. I was super happy he got down here, we got some work in and he could finally see OU.”
Oklahoma fans will be happy to hear Williams and Egbuka are forming a connection in hopes to pair him with the second-ranked receiver in the class of 2021 Mario Williams who committed back in May.
