Oklahoma landed the signature of a 2023 wide receiver on Thursday.

Trey Brown, a senior at Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville, signed to be a preferred walk-on with the Sooners. He verbally committed to OU on July 31.

The 5-foot-11, 175-pound Brown played 18 varsity games at CPA, according to MaxPreps, and finished his career with 14 receptions for 177 yards and a touchdown.

His best season came in 2022, when he caught 11 passes for 122 yards and a TD. He also contributed 10 tackles on defense.

Brown and others, including fellow Nashville product Casen Calmus (son of former Sooner All-American Rocky Calmus), made it official by formally signing to play for the Sooners.

Brown, Calmus and others are the Sooners' latest preferred walk-ons to join the 2023 class, evidence of Brent Venables' determination to find hidden talent from around the country and establish his own culture in Norman.
