The Oklahoma Sooners locked up highly touted quarterback prospect Austin Kendall, and now coach Bob Stoops is focused on hauling in the program's next great running back.

Which prospect will choose OU is the question? According to Sooners Illustrated, Oklahoma seems to have three main targets, all of whom hail from Texas: Devwah Whaley (Beaumont Central); Trayveon Williams (Houston C.E. King); and Trevor Speights (McAllen Memorial).

Whaley recently included Oklahoma in his top 10 list, and on Monday, Williams announced via Twitter his top 5, which included OU and four Texas schools. Williams announced that he will make his final decision on Friday.

It appears Oklahoma is happy to take just one running back in the 2016 class. With Samaje Perine only going to be a sophomore, a 2016 freshman could be redshirted and then ready to play when Perine is a senior.
