The Path to Norman

KJ Daniels, a receiver out of Louisiana, was one of Coach Emmett Jones’ first priorities upon arriving in Norman. After being hired in January 2023, Coach extended an offer to Daniels in February and had the young man on campus in March. Daniels’ offer sheet already included Texas Tech, Houston, and Tulane. It didn’t get much longer, likely due to an April commitment date and Daniels shutting down his recruitment.

Highlights

This Season

With an extremely deep receiver room and a summer arrival, Daniels is likely a year one redshirt for the Sooners. However, his speed is going to be a huge asset for the OU offense in years to come.
