Brooks is entering his Sophomore season in (2019).
Oklahoma also has a run you over and take contact. That version of the running game belongs go (4) Trey Sermon. Even though he didn't have a thousand yards but he game close (947 yards rushing. Sermon has (13) rushing TDs which led the team. This will be treys Jr Season in (2019).
These aren't the only RBs in the RB room. They are the leading returning rushers. They also have (22) T.J.Pledger entering his sophomore season.
They also have (2) Newbies Sooner Football. Oklahoma Native Marcus MAjors will be a True Freshman. Also Rhamondre Stevenson comes to Oklahoma as a JR college transfer.
