Oklahoma had a one-track mind at running back for the 2012 class, quickly snatching up in-state star Alex Ross (Jenks, Okla./Jenks).
If the Sooners had that same mentality regarding the state’s best 2013 running back, OU would be busting down the door of Darius Graham (Lawton, Okla./MacArthur). However, with the Sooners already offering a handful of backs, Graham is getting interest but knows he will be a waiting game to see if anything more develops between him and the Sooners.
Graham, 5-foot-11 and 215 pounds, rushed for 1,492 yards on 200 carries in leading Lawton MacArthur to the Class 5A state championship game. He has an offer from Louisiana Tech and is being recruited by OU, Oklahoma State, Tulsa, Texas Tech and Nebraska, among others.
