8 Oklahoma Sooners included to the Reese’s Senior Bowl watch list

8 Oklahoma Sooners included to the Reese’s Senior Bowl watch list

The Senior Bowl has become the best all-star game for NFL draft prospects to raise their profile during the draft process. Baker Mayfield attended the game, allowing NFL GMs, in particular the Cleveland Browns, the opportunity to see Mayfield over the course of the week.

The time spent in Mobile, Ala. helped Mayfield secure the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft.

More recently, Perrion Winfrey took advantage of the opportunity to meet with teams and help them get a better handle on who he was as a player and person. Winfrey was so dominant that he earned game MVP honors.

With the 2022 season about to kickoff, the Senior Bowl released its watch list for the 2022 season and eight Oklahoma Sooners were included.

Eric Gray came to OU in 2021 with high expectations and was getting a ton of hype. After the las coaching staff kept the game-breaker on the shelf, Gray has an opportunity to lead the way for the Oklahoma Sooners rushing attack. His dynamic ability in the passing game gives the Sooners a dual-threat runner that provides Oklahoma another home run threat on offense.

Jeffery Johnson, DT

One of the players I’m most excited to watch for the Oklahoma Sooners is Jeffery Johnson. Adding a legit, run-stuffing defensive tackle that has the size and strength to eat up space in the middle will be a game changer for the Sooners run defense.

Wanya Morris, OT

The right tackle competition isn’t solved yet, but Wanya Morris figures to factor in along the offensive line for OU in 2022. By all accounts, Morris has had a fantastic offseason and might be ready to realize his full potential on the field.
