Local arm with size, poise, and a move-on track
In the 2024 season, Steele Wasel was a redshirt freshman QB at Oklahoma, listed at 6-3 and 228 pounds, after transferring in from Akron and then entering the portal in December 2024[1][3][6]. His appeal is the classic developmental quarterback profile: local Oklahoma kid, good frame, live-arm upside, and enough confidence that evaluators repeatedly framed him as a future piece rather than a finished product[4][14]. He did not emerge as a major statistical producer at OU, so the real question is fit—he looks more like a patient system project than an instant-impact starter[4][12].
