Sooner Squad 17 (SS17) was a very hyped class for the Sooners. It featured some good talent and a lot of promise. What will be exciting is to see the development of these players during their time at OU. SS17 started out with 27 players. Although one is no longer on the team, the late additions of Dillon Faamatu and, for the purposes of this post, Jeff Badet made it 28. (Yes, I know Badet is not technically in the recruiting class).
This is our weekly look into how that class is performing and what their contributions were in the most recent game.

– Marcelias Sutton: 19 KO return yards
Those contributions accounted for:
– 51% of the carries
– 55% of the rushing yards
– 0% of the rushing touchdowns
– 61% of the receptions
– 63% of the receiving yards
– 50% of the receiving touchdowns
– 55% of the all purpose yards
– 15% of the total tackles
Overall, SS17 continued to show how talented it is. CeeDee Lamb was clearly still not 100%, but had a quiet 74 yard game. Brown and Badet both made key contributions in the receiving game. And Sermon was once again an all-around fantastic part of the offense.
