Dusty Dvoracek reveals surprising name receiving offseason buzz

The Oklahoma Sooners know their rushing attack must improve significantly in 2026. Since joining the SEC, Oklahoma has struggled to consistently establish the run.

Last season, the Sooners ranked No. 113 in rushing yards per game at just 118.5 yards per game. The year before, Oklahoma finished No. 76 nationally, averaging 155.2 yards per game. As a result, the coaching staff spent the offseason evaluating how to rebuild the rushing attack. Coaches Kevin Wilson, Bill Bedenbaugh, Deland McCullough and Jason Witten have all been involved in emphasizing improvements to the ground game this offseason.
