Oklahoma looks to still be in the process of bolstering its quarterback room. While Jackson Arnold is QB1 as Oklahoma heads into the 2024 season, Oklahoma continues to ensure the depth behind him is sufficient.
The last recruiting cycle saw the Sooners bring in not one but two quarterbacks. Michael Hawkins, a four-star quarterback and an Oklahoma legacy, is fighting for the backup quarterback role. Brendan Zurbrugg also joined the Sooners after he shined as the field general for his high school team in Ohio.
To complete the transformation, the Sooners finally saw Casey Thompson, son of former Oklahoma quarterback Charles Thompson, join the program as a veteran presence.
Most recently, General Booty hit the transfer portal earlier this spring and eventually transferred to the Louisiana–Monroe Warhawks.
That brings us to the latest development in Oklahoma’s quarterback room as the Sooners were projected to land Akron transfer QB Steele Wasel just from Collin Kennedy of Sooners Illustrated and 247Sports.
Wasel is an Oklahoma native from Choctaw. He has a powerful arm and has excellent size for the position, standing 6-foot-4 and weighing over 200 pounds. As a senior at Choctaw High School, he threw for 3,325 yards and 38 touchdowns.
He redshirted this past year at Akron and will still have four years of eligibility remaining.
