Oklahoma Sooners

Neville Gallimore, Defensive Tackle

Neville Gallimore is a stud, with first-round potential — he is likely to blow-up the combine. Earlier in the year, Bruce Feldman of The Athletic put out a piece highlighting some of the superior athletes in college football and Gallimore came in a number-two on his list. According to Feldman, Gallimore is 305 pounds and can run a 4.76 40 yard-dash, while still being able to put up impressive numbers in the weight room.

When watching Gallimore on the field you can see his athleticism pop off the screen. He is able to throw opposing linemen with ease and track down ball-carriers. Perhaps the most impressive part of his game is his motor, he never seems to take a down off and is always trying to make the play even when he seems to be out of it.

CeeDee Lamb, Wide Receiver

CeeDee Lamb is the most complete receiver in college football, he can win at three levels of the field, he can pick up yards after the catch and can even be used as a return man. Whether or not Lamb is the best receiver in his class is up for debate, there is no debating just how talented he is. Lamb has phenomenal hands and body control that allow him to make contested catches through traffic.

If there is a weakness to his game, I’ve yet to see it.

Jalen Hurts, Quarterback

Unless you live under a rock you have probably heard of Jalen Hurts. He finished 2nd in the Heisman race behind LSU’s Joe Burrow and Hurts has been darn good for Oklahoma this year. He isn’t the greatest passer, he struggles to hit routes on time and his decision making is subpar, but for Oklahoma to have the best chance to win, they may have to rely on his running ability to do so.

When LSU faced off against Ole Miss earlier in the year, they gave up over 400 yards on the ground, and 212 of those yards came from Ole Miss’ quarterback, John Rhys Plumlee. For the Sooners to have the best shot at beating the Tigers, Hurts will need to make the throws on key downs, but his legs may be the difference.
