Sooners wide receiver suffers knee injury, expected to undergo MRI

According to a report from George Stoia of SoonerScoop and On3, Oklahoma Sooners wide receiver Jayden Gibson is scheduled to undergo an MRI to determine the severity of a knee injury he suffered in practice on Tuesday.

After a strong 2023 season, Gibson looked headed for a significant greater opportunity in 2024. The Sooners have been slowly working back in Jalil Farooq and Andrel Anthony, a pair of wide outs that started last season. It’s anticipated they will be ready for the start of the season, but Gibson was expected to compete for a starting role in the OU offense.

In 2023, Gibson caught 14 passes for 375 yards and five touchdowns, averaging 26.8 yards per reception. He became a reliable fourth option in the passing game, showing improved hands along with physicality after the catch.

Gibson was a part of the 2022 recruiting class after decommitting from Florida. Originally committed to the Florida Gators under Dan Mullen, he flipped to the Sooners after Mullen was fired and has been on the verge of a breakout ever since.

Now Gibson and the Oklahoma Sooners wait on the results of the MRI to determine the treatment for the talented playmaker.
