Oklahoma Football 2025: Quarterbacks, Wideouts & Tight Ends — Building Consistency in the SEC

In this final episode before the season starts, we dive deep into three of Oklahoma’s most critical position groups heading into the 2025 season. First, we break down the Sooners’ tight ends, a unit in transition featuring a surprising position switch from linebacker Jaren Kanak and a handful of transfers trying to establish themselves in Ben Arbuckle’s system. Then, we shift outside to the wide receivers, where Isaiah Sategna’s reliability, Javonnie Gibson’s toughness, and Elijah Thomas’s electric upside highlight a completely rebuilt room that could define the offense’s ceiling. Finally, we turn to the quarterback position, where Washington State transfer John Mateer — last year’s FBS leader in total touchdowns — steps into the spotlight as the new face of Oklahoma football. Can he stabilize the offense and restore the program’s identity in the SEC?

It’s a full look at how these three position groups will shape the Sooners’ season — and why consistency, not flash, might be the key to Oklahoma’s 2025 success.
