On Saturday, Sept. 21, Oklahoma played its first SEC contest, taking on the No. 6 Tennessee Volunteers in Norman.

The Sooners long-awaited SEC debut brought ESPN's "College Gameday" to town and put all eyes in the college football world on OU's matchup with the Volunteers.

Despite Brent Venables and company dropping their matchup to former Sooners' quarterback and offensive coordinator Josh Heupel, the crowd in Norman was electric against Tennessee, making for a good visit experience for recruits, even in the loss.

With the Sooners' 2025 recruiting class virtually completed, the team has started to focus its efforts heavily on the 2026 recruiting class, as evident by Saturday's visitor list.

Here is a rundown of who was in Norman over the weekend.
