The first Oklahoma recruiting class with Lincoln Riley as head coach, the 2018 class, was one that got Sooner fans excited. The top ten class brought in talented players who can both contribute immediately and help stock up depth.

Last year, TFB looked at SS17 each week to see how they contributed on the field. This year, we’ll do the same with ST2K18, looking at stats and big plays.

Season Stats

ST2K18 - 2018 Total (Game 4) - V2

* The new NCAA rule allows players to participate in up to four games and still classify the season as a redshirt. 

On the season, an average of 9 members of ST2K18 are playing per game. Tackles and rushing are the areas that the class is most impacting the stat sheet.

Highlights

Notes

Five players seeing the field from the 2018 class seems low; however, only 40 OU players saw the field on Saturday (including special teams). Compare that to over 60 against UCLA and it’s easy to see that there weren’t many snaps to go around.

Perkins, Pledger, and Bookie have now all played four games; one more and they will be ineligible to redshirt (which certainly seems likely). Meanwhile, Robinson, White, and Willis are at three games.
