The Oklahoma football 2020 recruiting class was ranked 10th in the country by ESPN and 15th by Rivals, and one of the big gets in that class was wide receiver Marvin Mims.
Although Mims’ contemporaries at Lone Star High School in Frisco, Texas (in the Dallas metroplex) will be graduating virtually this spring because of the novel coronavirus pandemic, Mims himself is already enrolled at Oklahoma, which under normal conditions would have given him a leg up on other members of OU’s 2020 class with the opportunity to acclimate to the Oklahoma campus and the football program and participate in spring practice.
