100 Days to Football Time in Oklahoma: #10 Theo Wease By: Ryan Lewis Posted on: August 25, 2021

The Path to Norman

Theo Wease teased Sooner fans before landing in Norman. He committed to Oklahoma in February of 2017, but reopened his recruitment in April of the same year. However, he never seemed out of reach to OU fans and it seemed like a recommitment was always within reach. In April of 2018, he let it be known that he was going to stick with his OU commitment over other top programs including USC, LSU, and Alabama.

TFB spotlighted Theo shortly before his recommitment to get to know him better, which you can find here.

Career so Far

Wease came in with Jadon Haselwood, Trejan Bridges, and Austin Stogner as one of the most talented receiver classes to ever head to Norman. The four looked like the real deal when arriving on campus in 2019.

Theo Wease appeared in every game but one in 2019. He had some impressive catches, including a big game against Baylor. Although the entire talented group listed above received fewer targets than Sooner fans would have liked, his talent was on full display when he had opportunities.

The receiver group took a noticeable step back in 2020. CeeDee Lamb left for the pros, leaving a big gap. Between injuries, suspensions, and a few guys not stepping up, the position didn’t live up to Coach Riley’s standards. Wease was tied for most receptions on the team (37) and second in receiving yards (530). He had some big time catches, but also some key drops throughout the season.

Highlights

This Season

The receiver group will again look different in 2021. Familiar leaders like Marvin Mims, Austin Stogner, and Wease will return. There’s also a group of (relatively) fresh faces: Jadon Haselwood will be fully back from injury, Mike Woods has joined the program, and freshman Mario Williams will be sure to turn heads. While Wease is likely to start once again in 2021, the receiver group is expected to take a step forward after a down year in 2020 and will be a hotbed for competition.
