Five Future Flash: 2026’s OU-Wrecking Wideouts
Oklahoma’s third SEC campaign kicks off Sept. 5, 2026, against UTEP, but the real fireworks come later as the Sooners tackle some of college football’s most dynamic pass-catchers. Leading the list is Texas transfer Cam Coleman, whose three-quarterback audition in 2025 netted 708 yards and five scores. Hot on his heels is Texas A&M’s speedster Mario Craver, who exploded for 207 yards in his first road win at Notre Dame and finished with 917 yards on 59 grabs. Texas’ veteran target Ryan Wingo put up 834 yards and seven touchdowns despite early-season offensive woes. Florida’s newcomer Eric Singleton Jr., fresh off a solid Auburn stint, aims to light up defenses alongside portal pal Aaron Philo. And at No. 5, Mississippi State’s Anthony Evans III returns as the Bulldogs’ go‐to threat with 831 yards and four TDs in 2025. From Norman to College Station, these five wideouts promise to keep Oklahoma’s secondary on its toes all season long.
Strap in, Sooner fans—it’s about to get portal‐pocalypse up in Norman. Sure, you can set your watch by early kickoff alarms, but you’ll really need a calendar app just to track all the transfers beelining for your secondary. If Colemans, Cravers and Singletons were any more en vogue, they’d be hawking their own sneakers. Meanwhile, poor Courtland Guillory is over there wondering if he can just retire his cleats now, take up fantasy chess instead. And let’s not forget the head coach, who’s probably Googling “deportalization” as we speak. But hey, if you can’t beat the portal monster, at least lean into it—maybe paint Norman in neon orange‐and‐burnt‐sass. Because when these five future flashbulbs hit the field, Oklahoma’s DB room will need more than grit—they’ll need a prayer and a foldable bunk bed to hide under.
