2024 outlook: Pretty simple when talking about the sophomore-to-be: Peyton Bowen has the making of becoming the next great safety at Oklahoma. It’s a mouthful when talking about the Denton Guyer product in the same breath as the likes of Roy Williams but that is the ceiling after a spectacular freshman season. You won’t see Bowen leave the field too often and for good reason, including the expectation of him adding his services to the punt and kickoff return units.
2024 Safety Outlook:
Safety coach Brandon Hall has done as good of a job as anyone building his room. Oklahoma has an impressive safety room led by senior Billy Bowman, who opted to put the NFL on hold for one more year in Norman. Playing next Bowman will likely be Peyton Bowen and Robert Spears-Jennings. Both had impressive 2023 seasons and good spring practices, making them the frontrunners to start alongside Bowman. But OU has a trio of freshman — Jaydan Hardy, Reggie Powers and Michael Boganowski — vying for roles next season.
