Conner McQueen had been the offensive analyst for the Oklahoma Sooners for mere hours in March 2020 when he heard the buzz about the visiting quarterback on campus.
McQueen's first day on the job coincided with Caleb Williams' first visit to Norman. McQueen hadn't even met face-to-face with his boss, former Sooners coach Lincoln Riley, because everyone in the football offices was occupied with pulling out all the stops for the five-star recruit, who was a junior at Gonzaga College High School in Washington, D.C.
What was relayed to McQueen was that Riley, who had mentored Heisman Trophy quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray, had found his next superstar.
