Oklahoma Sooners

Four Oklahoma players will represent the Sooners next month at the annual Big 12 Media Days.

Linebacker Danny Stutsman, quarterback Dillon Gabriel, wide receiver Drake Stoops and defensive lineman Jonah Laulu will join head coach Brent Venables when the Big 12 convenes its annual conference media days at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.

Media Days are scheduled for July 12-13 at the stadium.

The Big 12 announced in February that all 14 teams this season will appear during both days, but it appears the league has returned to a more traditional format of featuring half the teams on Day One and the other half on Day Two.

OU will be among the seven teams appearing on July 13, according to a series of tweets posted by the conference on Wednesday.

The Sooners will share the stage with Cincinnati, UCF, Iowa State, Kansas State, Texas Tech and West Virginia on Thursday, July 13.

On Wednesday, July 12, Baylor, BYU, Houston, Kansas, Oklahoma State, TCU and Texas will be featured.

The 2023 season will be the only year of 14 members for the Big 12, as BYU, Cincinnati, UCF and Houston join the conference. Next year membership is scheduled to dip to 12 as Oklahoma and Texas join the SEC.
