Oklahoma 2020 player card: No. 14 Charleston Rambo

Sooners Wire will be creating player cards for readers to be introduced to the 2020 roster. Here is the No. 14 Charleston Rambo.

There is a ton of momentum to having a 2020 college football season these days. No definite signs, yet, but the season would start less than 100 days from now.

Sooners Wire will be creating player cards for readers to be introduced to the 2020 roster.

Here is the No. 14 for Oklahoma.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Name: Charleston Rambo

Number: No. 14

Year: Redshirt junior

Position: Wide receiver

Hometown: Cedar Hill, Texas 

Height/Weight: 6-foot-1, 179 pounds

There is no one who will benefit more from having Spencer Rattler at quarterback than Charleston Rambo.

The former four-star recruit according to Rivals took a redshirt year in 2017 as a freshman. Rambo finished as the No. 97 best player in the country and the 18th best wide receiver in the 2017 recruiting class.

His coming out party came on the long touchdown from catch from Kyler Murray in the 2018 Orange Bowl after an injury to Marquise Brown. In his first year in a prominent role in Oklahoma’s offense, Rambo caught 43 passes for 743 receiving yards and caught five touchdowns last season.

Rambo will move into an important role as Oklahoma’s only experienced Z-receiver with Jadon Haselwood and Trejan Bridges (for the first five games) out for 2020. His production dropped in 2019 when Jalen Hurts’ production through the air did after halfway through the season.

Top five wide receivers Texas will face in 2020

Covering quarterbacks and running backs already, we now look wide receivers. Here are the top five pass catchers Texas will face in 2020:

Covering quarterbacks and running backs already, we now look wide receivers. A position in the Big 12 which has seen many stars come and go, especially from Texas.

The Longhorns have also faced some excellent receivers over the years, trying to slow down heavy passing attacks. As recent as CeeDee Lamb of Oklahoma to the early days of the Big 12 with Rashaun Woods out of Oklahoma State, the conference has been littered with talent out wide.

This upcoming season will be no different for Texas. As deep as the quarterbacks are in the conference, wide receivers may run even deeper. Even if the Longhorns’ non-conference schedule, they come up against the 2019 Biletnikoff Award winner.

Oklahoma wide receiver Mykel Jones announces intentions to transfer

After four years with the team, Sooners receiver Mykel Jones announced he will be entering the transfer portal.

After four years with the team, Sooners receiver Mykel Jones announced via Twitter that he will be entering the transfer portal.

Jones will be entering his last year of eligibility after seeing limited playing time with the Sooners.

In four years playing receiver for Oklahoma, he grabbed 33 receptions for 495 receiving yards and one touchdown. In his 2017 season, he gained 310 of his receiving yards and scored his touchdown against TCU.

This season, he caught two passes for 42 yards. He had one catch for five yards in the season opener against Houston and one reception for a 37-yard gain against West Virginia.

Following Jones’ transfer, the Sooners will have just four receivers on scholarship for the 2020 season in Charleston Rambo, Jadon Haselwood, Trejan Bridges and Theo Wease.

Bridges was named as one of the players who will be suspended for the College Football Playoff semifinal against LSU and potential championship game against the winner of Ohio State and Clemson.

The Sooners kickoff against LSU in the Peach Bowl on Dec. 28 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, GA.

Now with a College Football Playoff opportunity looming, Oklahoma’s offense has no time to waste

Oklahoma now has a legit path to the College Football Playoff. It’s offense has no more time to waste if it wants to make it.

NORMAN, Okla. — During halftime of No. 7 Oklahoma’s (10-1, 7-1) 28-24 win over TCU, the idea of the Sooners heading back to the College Football Playoff became more real.

Oklahoma was taking it to TCU, almost doubling them up in yards and only a fumble on a promising drive being the lone blemish in what was a dominant half of football.

Out in the valley of the desert, Arizona State had taken a two possession lead over College Football Playoff hopeful Oregon.

The door was swinging open for Oklahoma to reach its preseason expectations and goals, but then the Sooners needed a game-sealing interception by Brendan ‘Bookie’ Radley-Hiles to allow Oklahoma to walk right back into the Playoff conversation.

With that opportunity now officially looming, the Sooners have no more time to waste—they must put it all together.

“Turnovers – and we say it all the time on defense – equal victories,” said Jalen Hurts at Monday’s weekly press conference. “You have to win the turnover margin. We have to do a better job of it. I have to do a better job of it. I’m going to focus on it, focus on the things that I have to focus on, and prepare this week and get ready to play better.”

It was two second-half turnovers against Iowa State that allowed the Cyclones to climb back into a 21-point game and almost win in Norman, Oklahoma.

It was two first-half turnovers against Baylor that put the Sooners in a 28-3 hole, then a third in the red zone that could have ended their season.

It was two red zone turnovers in the second-half against TCU that allowed the Horned Frogs to potentially win last Saturday’s game in the fourth-quarter.

Then, one can add in the overthrows and bad reads by Jalen Hurts—one to Charleston Rambo in the first-half of TCU comes to mind—that have put a ceiling on where this offense could be.

Rambo said after the TCU game that it was frustrating because Hurts makes those kind of throws in practice.

Hurts said after the game that he could remember the missed throws as if he was still out there playing. That he can’t turn the ball over.

“I think Coach Riley said it, we did dominate the game,” Hurts then said on Monday. “We played really well. We just can’t turn the ball over. I think that’s what it was. We had an opportunity to score a lot of points. I ended up turning it over at times. That’s something we have to eliminate and we will. We have to go to work.”
