Impact Sawchuk was largely contained in Week 1 against Alabama, but he did score his first touchdown of the 2025 campaign. Carries were distributed pretty evenly amongst the Seminoles' tailbacks, but with Roydell Williams (undisclosed) now set to miss some time, Sawchuk figures to see his carries increase moving forward.

Impact The Seminoles released their initial two-deep for the Week 1 clash with Alabama, and there were few surprises. Still, it's worth noting that Sawchuk and Williams are listed as co-starters, meaning both should be expected to see a considerable workload in the Florida State backfield.

Available for Alabama game Sawchuk (quadriceps) is available for Oklahoma's game Saturday against Alabama.

Impact 2024 has been a wash for Sawchuk, whose 20 carries for 42 yards (2.1 averaged per carry) this year are a complete downgrade in every facet compared to his 2023 season. While the Oklahoma team's next two games are far from easy, they are all he has to turn his year around.

NOVEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Head coach hopeful for availability Oklahoma's head coach Brent Venables said he is hopeful Sawchuk (quadriceps) could be available Saturday against Alabama, Mason Young of The Tulsa World reports.

Impact A quad injury has rendered Sawchuk unavailable since late-October. Perhaps Venables will clear the running back from the SEC's injury report by the time it is first released Wednesday evening.

NOVEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

DNP for Missouri game Sawchuk (quadriceps) did not play during Oklahoma's 30-23 loss Saturday at Missouri.

NOVEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Saturday Sawchuk (quadriceps) is listed as a game-time decision ahead of Saturday's matchup with Missouri.

Impact Sawchuk, who has missed the last three games with a quad injury, remains a game-time decision for the Sooners. The 5-foot-11 sophomore could see additional work if healthy with Jovantae Barnes (ankle) ruled out for the contest.

NOVEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable vs. Missouri Sawchuk (quadriceps) is listed questionable for Saturday's game against the Tigers.

NOVEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play vs. Ole Miss Sawchuk (quadriceps) is out for Saturday's game against Ole Miss.

Impact Sawchuk was listed as doubtful earlier this week, and in the end, the running back will be forced to watch this matchup from the sidelines. He's been limited to just 20 carries across five games, so his fantasy upside is minimal. His next chance to play will come against Maine on Nov. 2.

OCTOBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful vs. Ole Miss Sawchuk (quadriceps) is listed doubtful for Saturday's contest against Mississippi.

Impact Sawchuk is dealing with a squad strain that is trending towards forcing him to sit out this contest. Should the sophomore running back be out, he will aim to get back on the field for next week's game against Maine.

OCTOBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with quad strain Sawchuk (quad) suffered a quad strain leading up to Saturday's 35-9 loss against South Carolina, Tom Green of AL.com reports.

Impact Sawchuk was an unexpected non-participant in Week 8 after he was not listed on the Sooners' injury report pregame. The 5-foot-11 sophomore has struggled to find his footing this year, posting just 42 yards on 20 carries after logging 744 rushing yards with Oklahoma last season. It is unclear if Sawchuk's status is in question heading into this week's game against Mississippi, but his status will continue to be monitored.

OCTOBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as co-starter Sawchuk is listed as a co-starter for the Sooners' game Friday against Temple, according to their X account.

Impact Like before the Sooners' last game of 2023, they have their depth chart include Sawchuk and Jovantae Barnes as co-starters. The lone difference is they do not include Tawee Walker, who committed to Wisconsin before 2024. Unlike Barnes, Sawchuk was healthy during the Sooners' 2023 season, which is how he earned his co-starter role.

AUGUST 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Leading 2024 OU running backs group Sawchuk is expected to lead the 2024 Sooners' running backs for their upcoming season, Mason Young of The Tulsa World reports.

Impact Sawchuk logged a breakout season during 2023. However, it was that year's second half in which he found his stride. That half's last five games included Sawchuk recording 86 carries for 617 yards (7.2 averaged per carry) and six touchdowns. Compared to 2023, 2024 will be his first year in which he is a clear-cut No. 1 for Oklahoma. So perhaps this year, Sawchuk can improve from his 2023 season, just as long as he is healthy.
