TE Austin Stogner 6-6 235lbs arrived at OU as a four-star prospect and the No. 3 tight end in the class of 2019, according to the 247Sports Composite. He played for two seasons under Beamer in Norman before the latter took the head coaching job at South Carolina. The Plano, Texas native was a second team All-Big 12 selection by The Associated Press last season after he recorded 26 catches for 422 yards and three touchdowns in just eight games. He missed the final two regular season games in 2020 and the Big 12 Championship due to injury.
Stogner had been quieter in 2021 after a breakout second season. He recorded 14 receptions for 166 yards and three scores in Lincoln Riley’s final season at Oklahoma. “Long, almost gangly prospect with a frame that can hold plenty more weight,” former 247Sports director of scouting Barton Simmons wrote of Stogner as a high school prospect. “Has developed steadily and consistently over the course of high school career. Adequate combine testing but deceptively athletic. Plays with effort, physicality and toughness.” South Carolina could use some added depth in the tight end room with Nick Muse slated to graduate and having missed out on four-star 2022 prospect Oscar Delp who chose Georgia over South Carolina.
