UPDATE: 4:28p - Alright, going to let this one work itself out a bit as McKown did tell me he had a 'scholarship' and I think I may have misunderstood
exactly what that meant. I have full faith in his sincerity that he has a scholarship, and it may end being for football, but until I'm certain of that, I just can't run with it. At this point, I'm far from certain but will correct course as soon as that changes.
I'm going to let it work itself out a bit as I feel like there are a few loose ends here.
However it plays out, it's my opinion that Oklahoma will continue to pursue two scholarship backs at the position.
UPDATE: 4:03p - OK, McKown just hit me up and told me that he has been offered by Oklahoma. I've got no reason not to believe him, but as ever, I'm going to verify before I'm ready to report that. Still though, would be an interesting turn from what I was originally led to believe.
ORIGINAL: Ok guys, obviously the first news out of the weekend is the commitment of Norman (Okla.) North 2023 running back
Chapman McKown.

In speaking to some sources over the weekend, I think it's pretty clear he has committed to a preferred walk-on role. He's a guy that the Sooners clearly like but isn't someone they have offered at this point in time.
Just wanted to offer some clarity before anyone went too wild.
