Tory Blaylock News, Rumors, Updates - Oklahoma Sooners

Available for Week 2 Blaylock (hamstring) is available for Saturday's game at Michigan, Parker Thune of On3 reports.

Impact After a one-game absence, Blaylock will look to begin his 2026 season in Week 2 and build off the ultra-positive momentum he earned from his 2025 campaign with Oklahoma. That season, the running back logged 120 rushing attempts for 480 yards and four touchdowns. For him, the question is how much of that production can be maintained in 2026, with Xavier Robinson also returning to Oklahoma after a promising 2025 and Colorado State transfer Lloyd Avant also joining the top of OU's running back room.

Expected to be available in the Big House Blaylock (hamstring) is expected to be available for the Sooners' clash with Michigan on Saturday, per Parker Thune of SoonerScoop.com.

Impact Blaylock missed the Sooners' season opener with a hamstring ailment he suffered in fall camp, but the tailback has been ramping up is practice participation and is expected to be able to play against the Wolverines. He'll come off the bench for Oklahoma, as Lloyd Avant is still the starter. Last week, he totaled 85 yards and a score on 16 touches.

Has chance to play in Week 2 Blaylock (hamstring) could have a shot at playing against Michigan on Saturday if he progresses well throughout the week, head coach Brent Venables said Monday, according to Brody...

Impact Venables stopped short of saying Blaylock will return against Michigan, but he left open the possibility of him traveling -- and potentially playing -- if he responds well throughout the week. The tailback didn't play in the Week 1 win over UTEP, although he suited up and "somewhat participated" in warmups, meaning his return shouldn't be very far. When he returns, Blaylock should be in the mix for backfield touches even if he's behind Xavier Robinson and Lloyd Avant in the pecking order.

Doesn't play Friday Blaylock (hamstring) didn't play in Friday's 51-0 win over UTEP and should be considered questionable for Week 2 against Michigan on Sept. 12, George Stoia of On3.com reports.

Impact Blaylock suited up and "somewhat participated" in warmups, but he didn't play. According to head coach Brent Venables, he will be questionable for next week's game against Michigan but will likely not play as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury. This means potentially more touches for Lloyd Avant, Jonathan Hatton and Gabe Sawchuk behind the undisputed RB1, Xavier Robinson.

SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Present in warmups Blaylock (hamstring) was spotted in warmups ahead of Friday's game against UTEP, Ryan Chapman of SI.com reports.

Impact Blaylock was uncertain to play in Week 1 due to a hamstring injury, but the tailback should be an option out of the Sooners' backfield, though he's behind Xavier Robinson and Lloyd Avant in the pecking order. Still, Blaylock should see a decent amount of touches, especially if the Sooners establish a big lead early.

No. 10 Oklahoma has another stout defense and its QB back. The run game is a question mark

AUGUST 19 • Associated Press

Remains limited in fall camp Blaylock (hamstring) remains limited in Oklahoma's fall camp, Colton Sulley of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Oklahoma's roster is well into fall camp by now, and Blaylock's limited availability raises questions about his readiness for the regular season. The 2026 Sooners begin their regular season Sept. 4 against UTEP, giving him just over three weeks before they kick off. When healthy, Blaylock would be an instrumental piece in Oklahoma's running game, and the Sooners showed their faith in him last year by giving him 120 rushing attempts.

AUGUST 16 • ROTOWIRE

Limited participant Tuesday Blaylock (hamstring) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, according to Ryan Aber, Brady Trantham and Carson Field of SI.com.

Impact Blaylock has been dealing with an injured hamstring, but he was seen participating in drills on a limited basis Tuesday. He spent plenty of the drills running at half speed or off to the side, so while he's not fully recovered, he might be trending in the right direction.

AUGUST 11 • ROTOWIRE

No practice Friday Blaylock (undisclosed) did not practice Friday, Colton Sulley of The Oklahoman reports.

Impact Back in late-July, Bob Przybylo of SoonerScoop.com confirmed that Blaylock would be available during Oklahoma's fall camp. Even though it has commenced, Blaylock not practicing Friday indicates that he may not be ready yet. Fortunately for him and Oklahoma, there is still much of the fall camp remaining before OU's regular season begins Sept. 4 against UTEP.

AUGUST 7 • ROTOWIRE

Will be back for camp Blaylock (undisclosed) will be back for fall camp, Bob Przybylo of Sooner Scoop reports.

Impact Blaylock was out in the spring with an undisclosed injury, but he looks to be ready for fall camp. The 6-foot running back looks to be the RB2 on the depth chart heading into the season behind Xavier Robinson (undisclosed), who will also be making a return to the field.

JULY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Out for spring Blaylock (undisclosed) will be out for the entirety of the spring, per Colton Sulley of The Oklahoman.

Impact Blatlock will be sidleined for the time being due to an undisclosed injury. Once healthy, he is expected to serve as Oklahoma's No. 2 running back during the upcoming campaign.

Goes over 100 in win Blaylock had 19 rushes for 101 yards and one touchdown and gathered in their only target for five yards during Saturday's 26-7 win versus South Carolina.

Impact The freshman back broke the century-yard mark and provided the bruising between-the-tackles presence Oklahoma needed. His production now shows that the Sooners have two credible rushing options in Blaylock and Xavier Robinson, which will make the next game versus Ole Miss more versatile.
