100 Days to Football Time in Oklahoma: #43 Ryan Peoples By: Ryan Lewis Posted on: July 24, 2020

The Path to Norman

Peoples is no stranger to Norman. After sitting out a year due to transfer rules, he was a key part of Norman North’s playoff run the next season, earning The Oklahoman’s Big All-City Offensive Player of the Year honors. Although Peoples originally signed with Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, he walked on with the Sooners. Norman North has produced recent Sooner walk-ons like Nick Basquine and Drake Stoops. For more on his time at North, check out this article by the Oklahoman.

Highlights

2020 Season

Peoples is an athlete and played all over the field in high school. A starting quarterback, he played receiver on the scout team at North and is now listed as a defensive back for the Sooners. As with many players in the Grinch secondary, he could be tested at a host of potential positions. With lots of experience in the secondary, playing time will be tough to come by this year, but hopefully the homegrown player will see the field in 2020.
