Crimson Countdown: No. 28 KJ Daniels
The Crimson Countdown is officially on for the 2024 Oklahoma football season. Fans have been waiting for what feels like forever with this one. The Sooners are finally and officially joining the SEC.
The 2023 season was a rebound one for head coach Brent Venables, getting the program back to its standard. OU went 10-3 in Venables’ second season, now it’s time for year No. 3.
Every day as we get closer to kickoff, SoonerScoop.com will count down the days with you. Starting with No. 99 and working our way to No. 0, we’ll be there every step of the way.
Crimson Countdown: No. 28 KJ Daniels
2023 stats: N/A.
2024 outlook:
It was obvious how much receivers coach Emmett Jones valued Daniels. Right from the start, Daniels was one of the first guys Jones went after. And as we’ve learned, if Jones wants you, he usually gets you.

Daniels definitely has a slight frame, so it will be interesting to see how both sides navigate his true freshman season.
Arriving in the summer is another thing that might have Daniels a little behind compared to everybody else. We’ll see if his speed is just too good to keep off the field. And we’ll know more after this month of camp.
2024 wide receiver outlook
There’s no offensive position with more depth than wide receiver. While the Sooners lose leading receiver Drake Stoops to the NFL, they return everyone else. Jalil Farooq and Andrel Anthony are both back, but both missed most of the spring with injuries. Nic Anderson, who led the team in touchdowns last season, is also back. And Jayden Gibson looks to have a bigger role next year after a strong spring. But the X factor for the Sooners might be Purdue transfer Deion Burks, who showed everyone he might be the best weapon OU has during the Spring Game.
