The 2021 NFL draft is less than two weeks away. As NFL hopefuls wait to hear their name called from Cleveland, endless mock drafts and rankings analyze each collegiate prospect. After months of speculation, incessant narratives, trade chatter, interviews, and pro days, the wait is almost over.

The Draft Wire ranked the top 300 prospects in this year’s draft class. The compilation list is not a mock draft, meaning the particular numerical rank does not mean that is where Draft Wire believes he will be drafted. Six former Oklahoma Sooners made the list: Creed Humphrey, Ronnie Perkins, Rhamondre Stevenson, Tre Norwood, Tre Brown, and Adrian Ealy.

Creed Humphrey, 36

The Oklahoma center was ranked as the 36th best player in the 2021 draft class. He is projected to likely go in the second round by Draft Wire given his placement. Humphrey is regarded as the best center in OU history and did not allow a sack in his 37 career starts over a three-year span in Norman.

He was awarded Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year honors as a sophomore and junior. His wrestling background translated onto the field in his angles and leverage on opponents. Humphrey anchored Oklahoma’s line and seamlessly set protections.

Ronnie Perkins, 63

The Oklahoma pass rusher was ranked as the 63rd best player in the 2021 draft class. He is projected to go in the third round by Draft Wire given his standing in the top 300. Perkins was a three-year starter in Alex Grinch’s multiple front. He was a disruptive force off the edge from both a two-point and three-point stance.

During his tenure in Norman, Perkins accumulated 32 tackles for loss and 16.5 sacks. His powerful hands quickly shed blockers and he thrived in Grinch’s penetration styled approach. In addition, Perkins is an agile run defender in pursuit of the football.

Rhamondre Stevenson, 111

Oklahoma’s downhill runner was ranked as the 111th player in this year’s draft class. He is projected to go in the fourth round by Draft Wire given his placement. Stevenson was a one-year starter in Lincoln Riley’s offensive attack. He rose up OU’s depth chart after arriving in Norman from the JUCO level and he did his best work from a zone-blocking scheme.

He concluded his Sooner career with 165 carries for 1,180 rushing yards, 13 touchdowns, and a 7.2 average yards-per-carry. Stevenson possesses a special one-cut ability with little wasted movement and quick acceleration speed once holes develop.

Fifth Round

Tre Norwood, 188

Oklahoma’s nickel corner was ranked as the 188th player in this year’s draft class. He is projected to go in the fifth round based on his Draft Wire standing. Norwood lined up at both corner and safety in Alex Grinch’s secondary, playing predominately at nickel. He tied for second in the NCAA in interceptions in 2020 with his ball skills in coverage.

Norwood was named the 2020 Cotton Bowl defensive MVP after returning an interception 45 yards for a touchdown in Oklahoma’s win over Florida. He has a smooth backpedal and solid hip fluidity. Norwood has great ball-tracking ability and explodes out of his plant.

Tre Brown, 219

The Oklahoma cornerback was the 219th ranked player in this year’s draft class. He is projected to go in the sixth round given his Draft Wire placement. Brown was a three-year starter at Oklahoma in Alex Grinch’s scheme. He lined up on the outside playing both man and zone. Brown only allowed a 37.4 completion percentage over the past two seasons in Norman.

He notched 8.5 tackles for loss, 35 passes defensed, and four interceptions during his career. Brown is smooth in transition and has great route recognition. Possesses solid closing burst and short-area quickness. A physical corner that fights for the football.

Adrian Ealy, 231

The Oklahoma right tackle was regarded as the 231st ranked player in this year’s draft class. He is projected to go in the sixth round based on his Draft Wire ranking. Ealy was a two-year starter at right tackle in Lincoln Riley’s scheme. He earned second-team All-Big 12 honors in 2019 and 2020.

Ealy became more consistent in 2020 as his body continued to develop. Has powerful hands to move defenders off and mobility to chase down ball carriers at the second level and contain with his weight. In pass protection, he is difficult for pass rushers to get around because of his length. Often leaves chest exposed and is still a maturing player.
