Isaiah Sategna
On a 10-win Oklahoma team, Isaiah Sategna was the guy they could count on -- the leading receiver, first-team All-SEC, and the most reliable playmaker on the roster. He passed on the draft to do it again.

The story
The Arkansas transfer became Oklahoma's offensive anchor in 2025: 67 catches, 965 yards, eight touchdowns, first-team All-SEC, and a reputation as the Sooners' most dependable weapon on a 10-3 College Football Playoff team. He brings track-caliber speed and, just as valuable, consistency -- the kind of receiver a quarterback trusts on third down. He forwent the draft to return. The forward stakes are a step from proven SEC No. 1 to genuine NFL-prospect headliner: the production and the speed are established, so 2026 is about a bigger volume and a deeper highlight reel in an offense that runs through him.
His career
He was on the field for 5 seasons. That is rarer than it sounds.
The week the volume broke through — put up 131 yds vs Ole Miss.Ole Miss · L 26-342025
Sategna is a speed-based, reliable No. 1 -- the receiver an offense organizes around. The signature traits are well-documented: track-level straight-line speed that stresses a defense vertically, paired with the dependability that made him Oklahoma's most-targeted and most-trusted option (a team-leading 67 catches). He's a separator who can take the top off and also work the intermediate routes, rather than a contested-catch specialist. The profile is an every-down SEC No. 1 whose ceiling in 2026 is tied to volume and an offense leaning on him even harder.
