Here's a Podbean description for the episode:
OU DNA | NFL Combine Standouts, Dream of Spring & Softball
March is here and the vibes are right. Brad and Rob are back to talk all things Oklahoma Sooners as the calendar flips and football season starts coming into focus.
We break down the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, where 10 former Sooners made the trip to Indianapolis — the most OU representation since 2022. Deion Burks blazed a 4.30 in the 40 and posted a 42.5-inch vertical (first among all receivers). Robert Spears-Jennings ran a 4.32 at 6-2, 205 and earned a 9.3 RAS score. Gracen Halton put up a vertical that ranks third among DTs in the last two decades. Four Sooners posted 9.0+ Relative Athletic Scores in a single cycle. The NFL pipeline under Brent Venables is real, and the 2027 draft class could be even bigger.
Then we shift gears to spring ball. The OU spring game is back on April 18 at Owen Field — noon kickoff, first traditional spring game in two years. With no spring portal window, the roster is basically locked in. We talk new transfers, the 25-man signing class, and what to watch for.
We also hit on OU softball (19-2 and rolling), baseball's brutal SEC schedule, gymnastics dominating again, the Porter Moser situation in men's basketball (20% chance he stays), and a look at future non-conference scheduling including SMU at Jerry's World in 2027 and a home-and-home with Nebraska in 2029-30.
Plus: Bill Bedenbaugh's ridiculous track record as an O-line coach, conference realignment and the super league endgame, and why the next six months are going to fly.
Sit back, relax, and let's talk some OU football. Boomer Sooner.
