There are 3 names that are realistic to me.
1. Dillon Gabriel
2. Cameron Ward
3. Casey Thompson

Wild day in Norman! Caleb Williams is a phenomenal talent. Hate to see him go, but wish him nothing but the best in the future.
That said I absolutely love the addition of DT coach Todd Bates and QB Dillon Gabriel is the real deal! I gotta say today was a good day for OU!— Dusty Dvoracek (@DustyDvoracek) January 4, 2022
