Since 2006, Oklahoma has started 3, 5, 6, 7, 5, 6, 4, 3,3, 3, 5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 5 whites. In 2026, they will start 6.

Head coach Brent Venables, former white-friendly DC at Clemson, enters his fifth season with the Sooners. He hasn’t found championship glory at Oklahoma and weathered a couple of sub-par seasons, but he made the expanded playoff field last year and signed a big new contract with the school last month.

John Mateer is the team star and has started a national conversation over his “jacked” physique that is surely a racial double standard. Mateer played through injury last season and will look to solidify his draft status as a potential franchise QB. A Heisman run isn’t out of the question if the team fares well.

He’ll get to throw to Texas defector Parker Livingstone, who grabbed six touchdowns last year as a redshirt freshman. There are also three new transfer tight ends in Hansen, Beers, and Van Dorselaer - I think Beers will be the receiving threat of the group, for now.

Standout DE Taylor Wein had 7 sacks and 15 TFL last year. Mike LB Owen Heinecke added 3 sacks and 12 TFL. There are three playable linebackers behind him, including Michigan transfer Cole Sullivan. Sullivan was *possibly* poached by the Sooners way back when they hosted the Wolverines last September. Maybe Michigan tries to poach him back in a few weeks?

Six starters isn’t a lot, but with just one offensive lineman in that tally and defensive depth, this is a much better team to root for than last year’s squad.


Starters:
QB: John Mateer
WR: Parker Livingstone
OG: Heath Ozaeta
TE: Hayden Hansen

DE: Taylor Wein
LB: Owen Heinecke


Backups:
QB: Whitt Newbauer, Bowe Bentley
Slot: Jacob Jordan
TE: Rocky Beers, Jack Van Dorselaer
OL: Noah Best, Caleb Nitta

DE: Jake Kreul, Wyatt Gilmore
LB: Cole Sullivan, James Nesta, Taylor Heim
 
Hoping Mateer to Livingstone becomes one of the strongest connections in the country.
 
Hopefully the back up defensive players end up seeing the field.

As for Mateer, I hope they do less designed runs and just let him improvise. Sooners are the only team worth following in the SEC.
