Oklahoma Sooners 2026 post-spring Depth Chart projection

The Oklahoma Sooners concluded spring ball with a bang at the spring game. The first-team offense put on a show, led by a dynamic running game and a big-play passing game. The first-team defense had its way with the second-team offense, but there were a few second-teamers who stood out to put themselves in a position to earn roles in 2026.

The Oklahoma Sooners want to use a rotation at a number of positions, especially on the defensive side of the ball. There are still position battles that won't be settled until fall camp and could spill over into the season, but the Sooners have a strong roster that will be capable of contending in 2026. Here's how we're projecting the depth chart to shape up after spring ball.

Quarterback John Mateer Whitt Newbauer Bowe Bentley The circumstances weren't great for the white team quarterback in the spring game, but Whitt Newbauer proved capable of holding up under fire. At least for this year, he's John Mateer's primary backup and could have a headstart on the starting quarterback gig in 2027. But don't let one spring game sour your impression of Bowe Bentley.

The kid has all the tools to one day be the playmaker Oklahoma saw him as coming out of high school. Running Back Lloyd Avant Xavier Robinson Tory Blaylock DeZephen Walker Jonathan Hatton We had questions heading into spring ball about the running back position. We still have questions but only because without Xavier Robinson and Tory Blaylock practicing, Oklahoma didn't miss a beat.
