The Path to Norman
Brian Darby played high school football in College Station, home of the Aggies. His recruitment flew largely under the radar for some time, with offers from Arizona, Kansas State, and Utah. Then, following the Sooners satellite camp in Houston, OU extended an offer to the wide receiver.

Highlights
This Season
The receiver position group has a lot of talent with a mixed bag of experience. As a player with experience out of the backfield and at receiver, Brian could be used in a variety of ways. Snaps will be very competitive this year as Coach Riley seeks to improve upon the 2020 receiver play. Darby will continue working toward increased playing time at a competitive spot this season.
