The Oklahoma Sooners and head coach Brent Venables knew that, despite improvement last season, making the College Football Playoff wasn’t the program’s ultimate goal. That’s why the staff worked hard to identify their weaknesses and attack the transfer portal.
One area Oklahoma targeted was adding more playmakers at wide receiver. Last season, Oklahoma was often dependent on Isaiah Sategna to make all of the plays. They need someone else to step up and be a consistent threat.
Enter former Texas Longhorns wide receiver, Parker Livingstone. He brings size to the Oklahoma receiving corps, standing at 6-foot-4. He had a strong season last year, catching 29 passes for 516 yards and six touchdowns, emerging as one of Arch Manning’s reliable targets.
Livingstone’s new quarterback, John Mateer, was at the Manning Passing Academy, where he was asked about his new target.
“He’s been great, he loves it and he works hard,” Mateer said. “The guys love him, too. He came in, and he’s always smiling, joking around. It’s good. Joking around to an extent, he knows when to get it together. He’s just a guy’s guy; we hang out, and it’s fun.”
