The Oklahoma Sooners are entering a new era at quarterback after Dillon Gabriel’s transfer to Oregon, and they’ve turned to a familiar name to fill the void—Casey Thompson. The former Florida Atlantic quarterback, who previously played at Texas and Nebraska, is returning to his home state for his seventh collegiate season.
However, Thompson’s arrival comes with uncertainty, as he is recovering from a torn ACL that sidelined him during the 2023 season. While his experience and leadership bring hope to the Sooners’ offense, questions remain about his durability and ability to perform at a high level post-injury.
Head coach Brent Venables expressed confidence in Thompson’s ability to lead the team, citing his extensive experience in multiple offensive systems. Still, Oklahoma fans are left wondering whether the veteran QB can stay healthy enough to make a significant impact.
With spring practice approaching, all eyes will be on Thompson’s recovery and how the Sooners shape their quarterback competition heading into the 2025 season. Will he be the answer Oklahoma needs, or will the Sooners have to turn to another option under center?
