The Path to Norman

Jacobe Johnson was a highly-ranked in-state prospect, having played high school football in Mustang, who was pursued by many top programs for the all-around athleticism and versatility he brings. Primarily seen as a defensive back, Johnson’s size and speed made him an option all over the field. Johnson received his OU offer almost three years before his signing day. He made his way to Norman often, while also visiting Alabama, Michigan, and Stanford. Shortly after the Party at the Palace recruiting weekend in the fall of 2022, Johnson announced for the Sooners.

Highlights

This Season

Jacobe Johnson will provide depth at corner this fall. Woodi Washington and Gentry Williams are expected to start, with Dez Malone and Kani Walker likely rounding out the two-deep. Many of those in front of him are upperclassmen, so Johnson will have one more season to continue growing before being asked to fill a bigger role in 2025.
