OKLAHOMA SOONERS NEWS

Brenen Thompson - Logs 83 receiving yards, one TD Thompson reeled in all two targets for 83 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 38-24 defeat versus Arizona.

Impact For now, transferring from Texas to Oklahoma has proven to be a good decision by Thompson. Despite being targeted in less than half of OU's games this season, he finished 2023 having caught seven of 10 targets for 241 yards (34.4 averaged per reception) and two touchdowns.

Nic Anderson - Snags seven receptions in loss Anderson reeled in 7 of 11 targets for 73 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 38-24 defeat to Arizona.

Impact Anderson led the Sooners with seven receptions as they fell to Arizona in the Alamo Bowl. The 6-foot-4 redshirt freshman was a monstrous deep threat for Oklahoma in 2023, totaling 38 receptions for 798 yards and 10 touchdowns in his first season of on-field action. Anderson is likely to see a large role in 2024 following his stellar production in 2023.

Drake Stoops - Tallies 82 yards in Alamo Bowl Stoops caught 6 of 12 targets for 82 yards during Thursday's 38-24 loss to Arizona.

Impact Stoops closed out his senior season with another strong outing against the Wildcats, finishing with six catches for 82 yards in the loss. The 5-foot-10 wideout finished the season with 84 receptions for 962 yards and 10 touchdowns, and he may be a candidate to pursue an opportunity at the professional level this offseason.

Jackson Arnold - Mixed bag during bowl game Arnold completed 26 of 45 passes for 361 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions during Thursday's 38-24 loss to Arizona. He also had 11 rushes for 38 yards.

Impact Normally, 400 scrimmage yards and multiple touchdowns would be welcoming from a quarterback. But in Arnold's case for the Alamo Bowl, both were negated by an unimpressive completion percentage and four turnovers (three interceptions and one fumble) en route to a loss. As of now, he is expected to remain Oklahoma's primary quarterback. However, Arnold's position is far from solidified, as the transfer portal could allow OU to bring in someone more proven to compete with him.
