Oklahoma Sooners Football: Themes from the recruiting trail

The Oklahoma Sooners put the finishing touches on their 2020 recruiting class last week, as national signing day came and went with no surprises. Overall, Lincoln Riley and his crew assembled a solid group of newcomers that came in 11th nationally according to the 247Sports Composite recruiting class rankings. What the class lacks in name recognition it makes up for in depth – 14 of the 23 signees qualified as blue-chippers with individual rankings of four stars or better.

The biggest storyline of the class was the defensive haul in the first full recruiting cycle for OU’s overhauled defensive coaching staff.
