Initially refusing to release the depth chart, the Oklahoma Sooners capitalized on the opportunity to appease friend and foe alike. Devising a plan to reveal the complete starting lineup as well as backups on Facebook Live, I can almost guarantee Dana Holgorsen was the first to join the broadcast. Without any further ado, here’s is the official depth chart.
On the offensive side of the ball, the program remains stacked at the receiver position across the board. Yet, many expected to see Charleston Rambo compete for and eventually claim the starting role after a bit of breakout performance in the College Football Playoff. As of right now, that has not been the case with all three options at the z-receiver still vying for the starting job.
At first glance, I fully expected to see R.J. Proctor claiming a starting role along the offensive line. Knowing the coaching staff has the ability to develop players into NFL caliber talent, Proctor’s experience and versatility certainly aided the senior in the competition. However, the graduate transfer fell behind redshirt sophomore Marquise Hayes.
Switching sides of the ball, Parnell Motley once again claimed a starting role at the cornerback. Initially much of the conversation centered around Jordan Parker looking the part. As a veteran looking to overcome a few struggles and rewrite his legacy, the defensive back made a late push. Instead Parker will back up Tre Brown on the opposite side of the field.
