Oklahoma Football: 2025 Sooners Season Preview
As Coach Brent Venables approaches a critical 2025 season for the Oklahoma Sooners, fans are eager to see a turnaround from the team’s recent struggles. With a 22-17 record over the past three seasons and a challenging 2-6 start in the SEC last year, Oklahoma faces an uphill battle. The squad’s ranking placed them tied for 13th in the SEC, and the daunting schedule includes a matchup against Michigan in Week 2.
The Sooners, traditionally known for their high-octane offense, faltered significantly in their SEC debut. They ranked poorly in key statistical categories, finishing 97th nationwide in points per game and 119th in passing yards. However, the transfer portal has brought renewed optimism, with the addition of quarterback John Mateer from Washington State, who boasts impressive stats from last season, and running back Jaydn Ott from California, adding depth to the backfield. The offensive line, having struggled last year—allowing 50 sacks—will also seek improvement through new recruits.
Defensively, the Sooners have experienced losses but retain key talents such as defensive end R Mason Thomas and corner Eli Bowen, who received Freshman All-American honors. The return of former 5-star recruit David Stone further strengthens their defense.
Special teams also aim to improve, with the acquisition of kicker Tate Sandell and punter Jacob Ulrich. The Sooners are hoping for playmakers to emerge in both their offensive and return units.
As they gear up for the 2025 season, Oklahoma finds itself at a pivotal juncture. Fans and analysts alike will watch closely to see if the Sooners can recapture their former glory and thrive in the highly competitive SEC landscape.
