100 Days to Football Time in Oklahoma: #11 Jadon Haselwood By: Ryan Lewis Posted on: September 1, 2020

The Path to Norman

As the highest ranked recruit (per 247) to head to Norman since Rhett Bomar (until Caleb Williams), Jadon Haselwood came to OU with plenty of excitement. Haselwood was committed to Georgia for almost a year and a half through his recruiting process. A visit to Norman for the 2018 spring game started some Oklahoma momentum, coupled with Jadon’s father having attended OU. A few months before signing day, he opened his recruitment again. In the end, the Lincoln Riley offense won the recruitment of the elite receiver. 

Career so Far

Haselwood came in with Theo Wease, Trejan Bridges, and Austin Stogner as one of the most talented receiver classes to ever head to Norman. The four looked like the real deal when arriving on campus in 2019. 

Jadon played in all but one game his freshman season. He looked every bit the elite receiver that was promised, ending the season fifth on the team in receiving yards (CeeDee Lamb, Charleston Rambo, Lee Morris, and Nick Basquine). While many Sooner fans wished to see Haselwood more often, he was certainly impressive in the time he had.

Highlights

2020 Season

Unfortunately, Haselwood tore his ACL this spring. That’s a tough break for a guy prepped for a big season at receiver; three of the top four receivers by yards from last year are gone now. Coach Riley did recently mention Jadon, saying that he is very engaged in the team activities and, although he isn’t practicing, he is taking mental reps and lending a helping hand where he can. Hopefully, he will have a swift and complete recovery.
