There will be an unfamiliar feel as Oklahoma’s offense takes the field this fall.
For the first time in four years, the Sooners won’t have Sterling Shepard to lean on in their passing attack. The 2012 UnderArmour All-American capped off his stellar collegiate career with 86 receptions for 1,288 yards and 11 touchdowns as a senior. Shepard finished his career with 233 receptions for 3,482 yards and 26 touchdowns in 50 career games (41 starts).
As Oklahoma aims to return to the College Football Playoff for a second straight season, the No. 1 receiver spot is a top priority for offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley.
