The Path to Norman
Major Melson comes from a Sooner family. His father, Chris Melson, played for OU in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Chris Melson recently stepped down as the coach at Mansfield Legacy (TX), where he had coached Major. Major walked on with the Sooners before the 2020 season.
Career so Far
Melson took a redshirt season in 2020 and did not play.
Current Profile
Position: Wide Receiver
Height: 5’9”
Weight: 176
Year: Redshirt Freshman
Highlights
This Season
Melson is part of a fairly large group of walk-on receivers at Oklahoma. With receivers like Marvin Mims, Mario Williams, and Jadon Haselwood expected to be the headliners this year, walk-on receiver at OU has long been a position at which many have found success. Hopefully the Sooner legacy works his way onto the field during his time in Norman.
