Baker Mayfield

Comparing An Ou Commit To An Ou Legacy

... extending plays like Mayfield can, the parallels might become truly vivid. Rising has been committed since August, a perfect example of this brave new world where quarterbacks commit early — very, very early — and the rest of the class falls into place around them. It worked for the Sooners with Chris Robison, so now they’re trying it again. But that doesn’t leave much room for a talent like Casey Thompson. Oklahoma almost never signs two-quarterback classes. Some years it doesn’t sign any at all. It certainly won’t change that trend this year, with the quarterback room already full to bursting. Right now the job looks like Rising’s to turn down, and OU quarterback recruits flip about as often as Oklahoma State wins national championships. The thing about Casey, though — he’s a better prospect than his brother was. And his tape is absolutely dynamic. Maybe Rising could become Mayfield, but true believers think Thompson could become something closer to Lamar Jackson (without quite as much speed, obviously). His listed ...

Baker Mayfield Arrested

... would miss part or all of the UTEP game but be in uniform against the Buckeyes, but there’s no guarantee how OU will handle this, and it’s what many will be keenly watching. More immediately, the Sooners open spring practice March 21 and their spring game is set for April 8. If Mayfield is held out of any portion of spring ball, note that Texas A&M transfer Kyler Murray is eligible this season for OU. Murray is currently playing for the OU baseball team, however; it’s unclear how he intends to split time between the two sports or if this would alter that plan. One takeaway, should the charges stand, is that it puts a smudge on one of the best stories going in college football. Mayfield is known as a team leader, a central factor in the Sooners having improved chemistry the past two seasons. He’s often been the subject of g lowing media profiles that focus on his affable disposition and charity work within the community. Just getting to Norman was an adventure. The Austin-area native walked on at Texas Tech, excelling as an unlikely participant as a true freshman. Beaten out by Davis Webb, Mayfield then walked on at ...

Big 12 Pre-spring Position Rankings

... for 375 yards and three touchdowns in the rout of Boise State. The QB battle between Smith and Arizona transfer Anu Solomon will be one of the more interesting ones in the conference. During his three-year career at Arizona, Solomon threw for 6,922 yards, 49 touchdowns and 16 interceptions, but his 2016 season was derailed by a nagging knee injury. In Matt Rhule's first class, the Bears also signed Charlie Brewer , the younger brother of former Texas Tech and Virginia Tech QB Michael Brewer. 8. Texas Tech: With Patrick Mahomes moving on to the NFL, the reins of the Tech air raid will be handed over to Nic Shimonek. The Iowa transfer shined in his lone significant action last season, throwing four second-half touchdowns in a victory over Kansas. Juco transfer Mc Lane Carter , incoming freshman Xavier Martin and Jett Duffey , who was suspended by the university through the summer, round out the unit. 9. Iowa State: After taking over the starting spot from Joel Lanning , Jacob Park played well, throwing 12 touchdowns to just five interceptions. Back as well, Lanning gives ...

Detienen A Prospecto De Draft Baker Mayfield

Parte del reporte del oficial que arrestó a Mayfield fue publicado por la KFOR de Oklahoma. "Le pedí a Mayfield que se detuviera y hablara conmigo, comenzó a decir que estaba tratando de separar una pelea que sucedió antes de mi llegada", señala el informe. "Le pedí que se quedara para tomar su declaración para mi reporte. Estaba gritando groserías y estaba provocando un problema, estaba ebrio, tuvo problemas para bajar un par de escaleras. "Mayfield tenía problemas para hablar y tenía olor a alcohol, su ropa estaba cubierta de comida, le pedí que me acompañara. Cuando le di esa orden, comenzó a alejarse de mí, le pedí que se detuviera y después comenzó a correr, lo perseguí y fue derribado. En el suelo le ordené que pusiera los brazos detrás de su espalda pero mantuvo ...

Brad Underwood, Like Baker Mayfield, Knows Bedlam Is Best With A Little Feisty Banter

... best rivalries are the ones with the most give-and-take, both on the scoreboard and the bulletin board. It’s the spice of sports’ life. Underwood struck on both fronts after OSU defeated Arkansas on Jan. 28, two days before going to Norman, when he said Bedlam “hasn’t been much of a rivalry of late.” It was an honest assessment of a rivalry in need of balance — the Cowboys had dropped 17 of 24 in the series at the time, including seven in a row overall and 12 straight in Norman — and it got our attention. Forty-eight hours later, the Pokes played as if it got theirs. Effort, mostly on the boards, carried the night and they won despite shooting 33 percent. It was a Bedlam basketball breakthrough. OSU evened out the series, and Underwood picked up some bonus points with that banter. You know who else it reminds me of? Les Miles. Bedlam football was a little stale when he arrived to both beat the Sooners in 2001 and ...

How Can Kansas State Take Down The Conference Champ

... State wins? Notably, it did not commit a turnover and forced five. Kansas State, even in 2017 with the home field against Oklahoma and a slightly smaller talent deficit than the past two seasons, still can’t stand toe to toe with the Sooners and beat them at their game. The Wildcats need to be opportunistic, as in 2012, when they scored an early defensive touchdown, and in 2014, when a late goal-line stand led to a short Oklahoma field-goal miss that could have won it. What’s holding them back? Pretty simply, the inability to stop Mayfield. Oklahoma’s record-setting quarterback has completed 45 of 58 over the past two years against Kansas State for 628 yards, nine touchdowns and one interception. Another such performance as a senior from Mayfield would keep K-State from victory. Mayfield does not have the services this season of Sterling Shepherd (gone after 2015) and Dede Westbrook at receiver, or Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon ...
