100 Days to Football Time in Oklahoma: #18 Austin Stogner By: Ryan Lewis Posted on: August 14, 2019

The Path to Norman

OU is on a roll of big-time tight ends. Mark Andrews won the Mackey Award; Grant Calcaterra is expected to have an All-Big 12, and maybe even All-American, level season. Cue the Austin Stogner music.

Stogner was a highly-ranked tight end in the 2019 class, standing out as a big, physical player. As one of his first offers, OU battled for the young man’s commitment with plenty of other top-tier programs. Austin, however, decided to end his recruitment fairly early, committing a year and a half before his signing day. He was part of four high-profile freshman receivers who signed with the Sooners, the others being Jadon Haselwood, Theo Wease, and Trejan Bridges.

Highlights

2019 Season

It’s almost hard to believe, but Stogner is already bigger than Calc by two inches. Austin is going to be a monster at OU. It might, however, take another year to truly start. With Calc and TD maker Lee Morris ahead of him, playing time will be tough to come by; the staff had a hard enough time getting Morris reps this past season. Stogner is certainly talented enough, and will probably play in the max four games, but a redshirt season is possibly in store. Regardless, look for Austin Stogner to end up a huge receiver for the Sooners in his career.
