Oklahoma Sooners 2024 signing class positional outlook

The Oklahoma Sooners put together another top-10 recruiting class, signing all 27 of their prospects on the first day of the early signing period.

It’s a class that will help define Oklahoma’s success in the SEC. It’s a class that’s balanced, with 14 offensive signees to 13 on the defensive side of the ball. The defensive front is garnering all of the attention, but the Oklahoma Sooners brought in a number of really talented players on both sides of the ball.

Here’s a positional look at the Sooners 2024 signing class.

Quarterback: 2

Bryan Terry, The Oklahoman

Michael Hawkins and Brendan Zurbrugg

The Oklahoma Sooners signed a pair of quarterbacks in the 2024 class, Michael Hawkins and Brendan Zurbrugg. And for some reason, the recruiting industry is low on these prolific passers.

Hawkins was one of the best quarterbacks in the state of Texas in 2023, helping Frisco Emerson go deep in the Texas 5A state playoffs. Zurbrugg was equally impressive in the state of Ohio.

The two signees give the Sooners a nice trio of young quarterbacks to work with in addition to projected starter Jackson Arnold.

Running Back: 2

Bryan Terry, The Oklahoman

Xavier Robinson and Taylor Tatum

The Oklahoma Sooners added two really good players to the running back room in Taylor Tatum and Xavier Robinson.

Tatum is the nation’s No. 1 running back, and Robinson was one of the most productive players in the country over the last two years. The two add a thunder and lightning aspect to the Sooners’ backfield.

Oklahoma also added Andy Bass as a preferred walk-on. Bass will be a dynamic, multifunctional player in the Sooner’s offense.

Wide Receiver: 4

Zion Kearney, Ivan Carreon, Zion Ragins, K.J. Daniels

Oklahoma’s wide receiver corps was arguably it’s best position group in 2023….
