Raiders add 3 following rookie minicamp tryouts

3 new Raiders and 2 cuts following rookie minicamp tryouts

Rookie minicamp is in the books for the Raiders. And the result is three new players in the fold following tryouts over the weekend.

The Raiders have added undrafted free agent TE Travis Koontz, former Packers CB Stanford Samuels III, and former Bears T Tyrone Wheatley Jr.

With the new additions, the team waived C Brett Heggie and WR Tre Turner who had been added as an undrafted free agent last week.

Koontz put up 21 catches for 306 yards and four TD’s last season at Texas Tech.

Samuels III went undrafted in 2020 out of Florida State. He spent all of last season on the Packers’ practice squad, getting called up for two games.

Wheatley Jr. is a converted college tight end who spent last season on the Chicago Bears’ practice squad. And of course he’s the son of former Raiders running back Tyrone Wheatley.

10 Bold Predictions for the Oklahoma Sooners matchup with Texas Tech

As the Sooners look to improve to 9-0 on the season, here are 10 bold predictions for their matchup with the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

Despite how we feel about the Oklahoma Sooners through eight games, the reality is they’re an undefeated team. As years pass, that becomes an increasingly more difficult thing to do. It’s the first time in Lincoln Riley’s tenure as head coach that they’ve made it this deep into the season undefeated.

It can be easy to take wins for granted. To hear the great Toby Rowland tell it, fans were not happy with Oklahoma’s 66-59 win in the 2016 game vs. Texas Tech.

Because how you win still matters in college football, it’s easy to let the details of the win overtake the joy that your team won.

The Oklahoma Sooners are in the driver’s seat for a berth in the Big 12 Championship and still remain a favorite to make the College Football Playoff per FiveThirtyEight’s latest projections.

Heading into their matchup Saturday against Texas Tech, the Sooners are still looking for a complete team effort. Is this the week it comes?

As we wait to find out, here are 10 bold predictions for Oklahoma’s game vs. the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
