Crimson Countdown: No. 31 Ashton Logan
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. 31 Ashton Logan
2023 stats: Did not play.
2024 outlook:
It has been a strange college journey so far for Logan. He began his career at Colorado and played a few games before shutting it down.
Logan knew he wanted to transfer and stayed under the four-game limit. He arrived at OU last season but did not see the field.
So this season is sort of a defining year coming up. If Logan still can’t crack the lineup at punter, is OU still the place for him? Logan will push the other punters, for sure. But will he ever do more than that is what we’ll all find out together.
2024 special teams outlook
Special teams figures to be one of the more varied possible outcomes on the roster. Oklahoma returns starters at punter, kicker, and long snapper. But after a mixed bag of results in 2023 the Sooners are now with a new position coach in Doug Deakin from San Diego State. Punter Luke Elzinga seems a safe bet as does long snapper Ben Anderson but the battle at kicker between incumbent Zach Schmit and Tyler Keltner could be pivotal to the team’s success in what figures to be a season of tight games.
