The Path to Norman
DeZephen Walker joined Oklahoma’s 2026 class very quickly after he received his offer. While the Sooners were late to offer the running back out of Missouri, they wasted no time in getting him to campus for an official visit; it was just a week after that visit that Walker announced for OU.
He chose the Sooners over offers from Notre Dame, Georgia, Texas A&M, Oregon, and many more. Walker signed in December and enrolled in January 2026.
Highlights
This Season
Walker took advantage of enrolling early and got plugged into the offense this spring while Xavier Robinson and Tory Blaylock were limited. Robinson, Blaylock, and Lloyd Avant will be the frontrunners at the spot, but Walker and fellow freshman Jonathan Hatton Jr. can still earn carries and contribute immediately.
