Oklahoma appears to still be bolstering its quarterback room. While Jackson Arnold is QB1 as Oklahoma heads into the 2024 season, Oklahoma continues to ensure the depth behind him is sufficient.
The last recruiting cycle saw the Sooners bring in not one, but two quarterbacks. Michael Hawkinsa four-star quarterback and Oklahoma legacy is fighting for the backup quarterback role. Brendan Zurbrugg also joined the Sooners after shining as the field general for his Ohio high school team.
To complete the transformation, the Sooners finally saw Casey Thompsonson of former Oklahoma quarterback Charles Thompson joins the program as a veteran presence.
More recently, General Estate hit the transfer portal earlier this spring and ended up transferring to the Louisiana–Monroe Warhawks.
That brings us to the latest development in Oklahoma’s quarterback room, as the Sooners are projected to land Akron transfer QB Steele Wasel, just Collin Kennedy of Sooners Illustrated and 247Sports.
Wasel is a native of Choctaw, Oklahoma. He has a powerful arm and excellent size for the position, standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing more than 200 pounds. As a senior at Choctaw High School, he threw for 3,325 yards and 38 touchdowns.
He redshirted last year in Akron and still has four years of eligibility remaining.
