Oklahoma prepares special teams for 2026 college football season

Oklahoma Sooners are gearing up for the 2026 college football season as fall camp begins in Norman. After a successful 2025 campaign that included a trip to the College Football Playoff, the Sooners are focused on enhancing their special teams unit. Key players include returning kicker Tate Sandell, who won the Lou Groza award last season, and a competition between punters Grayson Miller and Jacob Ulrich. Coach Doug Deakin aims to build on last year's success, with kick return duties likely to involve transfer Lloyd Avant and true freshman Jahsiear Rogers. The Sooners hope to leverage special teams excellence to support both the defense and the offense in the upcoming season.
