2027 running back DECOMMITS | What's next on the trail? 7 Sooners taken in 2026 NFL Draft | 2027 NFL Draft projections

Oklahoma Sooners’ running back future faces uncertainty as prized 2027 recruit Jaxsen Stokes flips his commitment to Cal following DeMarco Murray’s departure. Can new running backs coach Dillon McCullough leverage his NFL Draft pedigree to restock Oklahoma’s backfield and secure rising star Keldrid Ben? Recruiting strategy, high-profile decommitments, and the importance of key summer visits set the stage for a dramatic overhaul.

John Williams and Jay Smith break down Oklahoma’s strong showing in the 2026 NFL Draft, spotlighting standouts like R Mason Thomas (Kansas City Chiefs) and Febechi Nwaiwu (Houston Texans). The conversation shifts to 2027 NFL Draft projections, with David Stone emerging as a potential first-round pick and several defensive linemen gaining national attention. Are the Sooners positioned for another draft bonanza—and who’s primed to rise next? The answer may define Oklahoma’s path in the SEC and beyond.
