Tate Sandell is Oklahoma’s big-leg security blanket
In 2025, Sandell was a breakout force for Oklahoma, winning the Lou Groza Award after going 24-for-27 on field goals and 35-for-35 on extra points, with a nation-best run from long range and multiple clutch 50-yard bombs. He’s more than a kicker with range: he gives the Sooners scoring equity in tight games, has been praised for consistency and composure, and returned for 2026 instead of going pro, which says plenty about his competitiveness and fit for a team chasing wins in pressure moments.
