Oklahoma is gearing up for a comeback after a tough first season in the SEC. The Sooners finished 6-7 overall and 2-6 in conference play, far behind Texas, which dominated with a 13-3 record.

Oklahoma, which finished tied for 14th in the SEC last year, ranked sixth in the preseason power rankings published this week by USA TODAY Sports.

The Oklahoma Sooners have a lot of recruiting things they need to clean up still before this 2025 football season starts. Now, will most of them get cleaned up?

Oklahoma coach Brent Venables spoke at the Southeastern Conference media days on Wednesday and discussed OU's offseason work, including the areas his team needs to work on.
