Gerald McCoy’s Seal of Approval for David Stone’s Dream Season
Gerald McCoy, Oklahoma’s all-time great defensive tackle, has been keeping tabs on 5-star junior David Stone, whose freshman year was modest but whose 2025 campaign flashed true star potential: 42 tackles, eight tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and a pass breakup. Drawing parallels to his own redshirt→All-American trajectory, McCoy predicts Stone’s third year in Norman will be the “go-time” season when practice reps and locker-room chatter turn into gridiron dominance. With a 6-3, 315-pound frame and a starting spot next to Jayden Jackson, Stone is poised to cross the threshold from very good to utterly unblockable—and maybe slide into that first-round NFL conversation.
Oklahoma fans, it seems, are already drafting mock hall-of-fame plaques and envisioning Stone breaking run-blockers like stale bread. According to insiders, the Sooners’ defensive line is now officially declaring itself “untouchable,” even though spring drills consist largely of cone drills and post-workout nachos. Rumor has it Stone’s next step involves a patent-pending move called the “McCoy Shoulder Dip,” guaranteeing opposing OLs will question their life choices. Stay tuned—if Stone doesn’t conquer college football in 2026, we may have to send McCoy back into the portal for moral support.
3 Game-Changers to Skyrocket Oklahoma’s 2026 Offense
Oklahoma’s offense looks poised for a 2026 glow-up thanks to three key factors. First, QB John Mateer, now fully healthy after thumb surgery, is focusing on smoother mechanics and sharper footwork under spring ball. Second, tailbacks Xavier Robinson and Tory Blaylock—both plagued by nagging injuries last season—should enter fall camp at full strength, backed by fresh legs like freshman Jonathan Hatton Jr. and transfer Lloyd Avant. Third, the Sooners bolstered their tight-end corps with red-zone monsters Rocky Beers, Hayden Hansen and Hayden Hansen, aiming to turn those pesky field goals into six-point celebrations.
Already, coaches are hanging motivational posters of portal additions in the locker room and instructing players to visualize the portal like a golden goose—minus the drama. The grand strategy? Assemble a buffet of big-bodied targets so Mateer can casually lob touchdowns to a 6-8 tight end in traffic. Analysts predict stadiums will soon echo with the sound of helmets pinging on goal posts as OU’s red-zone offense goes full blender mode. If this doesn’t work, the plan B is apparently to hire a team of mimes to distract defenses—because why not?
