100 Days to Football Time in Oklahoma: #14 Charleston Rambo By: Ryan Lewis Posted on: August 29, 2020

The Path to Norman

Charleston Rambo, a very talented receiver from Texas, was offered by the Sooners almost two whole years before his signing day. Charleston and Coach Dennis Simmons quickly developed a relationship, communicating often. He made several trips to Norman to check out the campus before committing to the Sooners about a year before his signing day. 

A rough start to the 2016 season could have scared off some recruits; instead, Rambo and others saw it as an opportunity to come in and make a difference. Despite pushes from various programs for the young man’s services, Charleston made it to Norman.

Career So Far

Rambo took a redshirt season in 2017 to get used to the college game. 

In 2018, Charleston saw action in 12 of the Sooners’ 14 games, even though having Marquise Brown on the same team made playing time tough to come by. He had a particularly strong performance against Alabama in the CFP Semifinal, giving fans plenty of excitement for his future.

2019 was a big step up. Rambo ranked second on the team receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. He averaged over 50 yards per game and was a constant threat in an offense that included first-round draft pick CeeDee Lamb. While there were times that the offensive game plan didn’t lend to a lot of targets, Rambo was certainly a big piece of the puzzle.

Highlights

2020 Season

This season has the potential to be Rambo’s national spotlight year. He has already been named to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List and Preseason All-Big 12 Team.

All the pieces are in place for Rambo to be the #1 guy at receiver this year; it’s not outside the question to think that a big year in 2020 would push the redshirt junior to the NFL. Look for a big season from Rambo as the next face of the OU receivers.
