QUARTERBACK ANALYSIS

WIDE RECEIVER

A bevy of transfers join a few returnees in a Tulsa wide receiver group that appears to be much improved compared to last season.

RUNNING BACK

Of all the positions for Tulsa, running back is one that appears to be the most loaded. So much so, that any one of five players could be the leading rusher.

TIGHT END

Tulsa head coach Tre Lamb expects young, inexperienced tight ends, like Luke Tevis and Jackson Shockley, to step up and produce in 2026.

OFFENSIVE LINE

Heading into the summer, Tulsa Football appears to already have its starting five mostly set on the offensive line for the 2026 season. Coach Tre Lamb helped us break it down.

SPECIAL TEAMS

It isn't often when both the punting and kicking positions are up for grabs at Tulsa going into the season, but that is the case in 2026. Usually, a clear-cut replacement is brought in for at least one of those two positions, whenever it has been needed. However, starting with what could be an extremely interesting kicking battle, Tulsa fans will need a program, or at least a roster sheet, to know who is on special teams.

DEFENSIVE LINE

Edge rushers lead the way for a retooled Tulsa defensive line in 2026, as coach Tre Lamb is excited about his depth at defensive end.
