One of the central questions for Oklahoma entering the 2026 season is simple: who will make John Mateer's life easier? That's a question shared by the consensus college football mind — whether they be media members, Sooner fans, or, perhaps more importantly, the OU front office.
The Oklahoma Sooners 2025 season has come to an end after a heartbreaking 34-24 loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide in the first round of the College Football Playoff.
With Oklahoma’s offense lagging, the Sooners’ top two receivers came in clutch. Wideouts Deion Burks and Isaiah Sategna scored OU’s only touchdowns of the night in the Sooners’ 17-13 win over LSU.
Deion Burks was Oklahoma’s go-to receiver last season before injuries slowed his season. This season, he looked like he’d slid right back into the role seamlessly over the first two games.
The No. 18 Oklahoma Sooners have plenty of opportunities before them to make their losses to Mississippi and Texas feel like distant memories. A road matchup with the No.
Another Oklahoma player has landed on another college football watch list — this one for a prestigious honor that acknowledges contributions both on and off the field.
Through only four games, Oklahoma has almost seen as much production out of its receivers and tight ends as it did in the entire 2024 season. Four Sooners — tight end Jaren Kanak and wide receivers Isaiah Sategna, Deion Burks and Keontez Lewis — have already eclipsed 200 receiving yards on the young season.
The Sooners made a big splash in the transfer portal when they signed Jaydn Ott in April, but he has yet to become a star for OU. Through the first four games of the 2025 season, Ott — a senior running back transfer from Cal — has rushed only nine times for 17 yards, and he hasn’t caught a pass.
Deion Burks’ touchdown against Michigan ensured Oklahoma would enjoy a dream start on Saturday night, but he likely wouldn’t have gotten into the end zone without Keontez Lewis.
Oklahoma wide receiver Deion Burks grew up a Michigan fan, but now holds resentment toward the Wolverines. Burks, a native of Inkster, MI, earned a handful of Big Ten offers during high school, but Michigan wasn’t one of them.
As the Oklahoma Sooners geared up for their Week 1 matchup against Illinois State, they had plenty of questions left on their depth chart, with one of the biggest being the wide receiver room.
Deion Burks came to Oklahoma with high expectations as a transfer in 2024, but injuries prevented him from reaching them last year. Burks, a wide receiver who played three seasons at Purdue before transferring to OU, missed eight of the Sooners’ 13 games last year largely due to a soft tissue injury.
When the Oklahoma Sooners made the decision to target Deion Burks in the transfer portal last season, everyone was excited, and rightfully so. In a very bad program and a very bad offense at Purdue, Burks was amazing.
The best is yet to come for Deion Burks. Last year, the Purdue transfer was unable to make a real impact in Oklahoma’s offense. He suffered a soft tissue
The Oklahoma Sooners enter the 2025 season with a mix of optimism and uncertainty as they aim to rebound from a disappointing 6-7 debut in the SEC. Head Coach Brent Venables, now in his fourth year, faces mounting pressure to restore Oklahoma’s status as a college football powerhouse.
It's safe to say that nobody wants to see a repeat of last year when it comes to the Oklahoma Sooners' wide receiver room. However, it seems like optimism
It's been a brutal year for the Tennessee Titans, but fans of the team can start to look forward to trying to turn the franchise around in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Oklahoma wide receiver Deion Burks is hoping to “defy all odds” and make his return from an injury in time for Saturday’s game against South Carolina, Sooners head coach Brent Venables said.
Deion Burks, a key piece of No. 18 Oklahoma's offense as its leading receiver, is expected to miss Saturday's Red River Rivalry game against No. 1 Texas with a soft tissue injury, ESPN reported on Thursday.
The injury bug continues to bite the Oklahoma Sooners in 2024 and don't show any signs of improving anytime soon. The Sooners released their Week 5 injury report ahead of their SEC matchup against the Auburn Tigers, and it is a long one. Wide receivers Jayden Gibson and Jalil Farooq were on the report last week, with Gibson out for the season.
Who knows exactly what 2024 has in store for the Oklahoma Sooners? Few teams will be undergoing more change than Brent Venables's squad, who will be entering the SEC, a much more challenging conference than their previous home of the Big 12.
The 2024 college football season truly can be special for the Oklahoma Sooners. The program is headed to the SEC, a move that will positively impact the program both immediately and long-term.
As Kyle Whittingham hinted at, the Utah Utes are looking to be major buyers in the transfer portal this year. On top of hosting one of the top tight ends in Arizona State Jalin Conyers for a visit, the Utes have also been sending out offers to wide receivers to give quarterback Cam Rising some weapons for 2024.
Purdue wide receiver Deion Burks has entered the transfer portal and has the attention of several top schools, including Auburn. According to On3, Auburn is one of several teams that have reached out to Burks to express interest and extend an offer.
