Posted on: July 17, 2019
The Path to Norman
Charlon didn’t originally come to OU just for football; instead, the Edmond, Oklahoma product went to Norman to join the track team. After checking out the football team, he knew he wanted to be part of that as well. Now, Charlton is a walk-on for the Sooners. For more on his journey, Oklahoman: Robert Charlton.
Career so Far
Charlton spent some time with OU’s track team. Football fans first got to see him in the 2018 spring game. Charlton made four tackles and knocked down two passes, almost intercepting one of them.

2019 Season
Hosting a new defensive staff, the Sooners are looking to form a new identity on defense. With several veterans in the secondary, including Tre Brown, Tre Norwood, and Parnell Motley, along with plenty of talented underclassmen, like Miguel Edwards and Starrland Baldwin, it will be tough to crack into the rotation. However, under Alex Grinch’s defense, speed counts for a lot; Charlton has that in spades. That will be a huge asset for Charlton as he looks to earn playing time this fall.
