From Locked On Sooners - Daily Podcast On Oklahoma Sooners Football & Basketball John Williams, Locked On Podcast Network, Jay Smith

Oklahoma Sooners face a “good problem” at running back as Lloyd Avant emerges as a potential starter after a standout spring game. With Tory Blaylock and Xavier Robinson battling injuries, the running back rotation remains wide open, but depth could be the key to surviving a brutal schedule featuring Michigan and multiple top-10 opponents. Can Avant’s durability and spring momentum keep him atop the depth chart, or will Blaylock and Robinson reclaim their roles come fall?

John Williams and Jay Smith break down the Sooners’ revamped offensive line, spotlighting Maikkula's return to form and Ryan Fodje’s development at tackle. Recruiting buzz intensifies as Oklahoma leads all programs with 11 commits in the Rivals 2027 Top 300, thanks to the cohesive work of the front office and coaching staff. Does Brent Venables have the blueprint for sustained recruiting and playoff success? Boomer Sooner fans won’t want to miss this forward-looking analysis.
