OU football: Three pressing questions for Sooners recruiting as signing day nears

The Sooners only have three commits for 2021 right now — defensive end Ethan Downs, wide receiver Cody Jackson and offensive lineman Cullen Montgomery. So there’s plenty of room to add more.

One position of concentration figures to be running back, with Trey Sermon and Rhamondre Stevenson both set to be seniors and Kennedy Brooks a possibility to depart early after a second consecutive strong season.

Oklahoma initially had two running backs in the 2020 class before longtime commit Jase McClellan backed out on signing day and went with Alabama instead.

The defensive backfield is likely to remain a big focus as Oklahoma looks to continue to add depth there after a string of transfers plus Tre Brown’s eligibility being up after the 2020 season.
