Kani Walker: The Sooners' Emerging Secret Weapon in the Secondary
As the Oklahoma Sooners prepare for their highly anticipated debut in the SEC, one player who has been turning heads in fall camp is redshirt junior defensive back Kani Walker. Hailing from Suwanee, Georgia, Walker brings a combination of size, skill, and tenacity that makes him an ideal fit for the SEC's rigorous demands.

Brent Venables believes there’s no limit to what Sooners can achieve
Oklahoma Sooners head football coach Brent Venables answered many questions in 2023. After being hired to be the next head coach of the historic OU football program on Dec. 5, 2021, he had plenty of work to do to build the program in his image after his predecessor’s sudden and unexpected departure. At the time, Oklahoma fans didn’t know just how much of a rebuild it would be. Venables clearly believed the Sooners had slipped from the standard of toughness, physicality and discipline that made them one of college football’s premier programs. Venables’ inaugural season was a disappointment. OU went 6-7, its worst...
