Baker Mayfield was treated to a warm reception when he came out of the tunnel at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium for the Oklahoma Sooners spring game. His Heisman statue presentation was a highlight of the weekend, and Mayfield's words at halftime were a huge hit.

On today's episode of Locked On Sooners John Williams and Josh Helmer also discuss a College Football News article that states Brent Venables needs to win now. There is no easing into anything at the University of Oklahoma because of the talent and the tradition.

Also, Nigel Pack's NIL deal and transfer to Miami raises questions about the future of college sports and will OU be able to compete in NIL to lure high four and five star recruits to Norman? Will OU be able to become a contender without big NIL pockets?
