Drake Stoops

Drake Stoops (born June 16, 1999) is an American professional football wide receiver for the Dallas Renegades of the United Football League (UFL). He played college football for the Oklahoma Sooners. He is the son of former Sooners head coach Bob Stoops and nephew of Mark and Mike Stoops.

Early life Stoops, along with his brother Isaac, played football at Norman North High School in Norman, Oklahoma.

In his senior year, he caught 67 passes for 1,093 yards and 15 touchdowns in 10 games. Stoops ended his high school career with 201 catches for 3,390 yards and 39 touchdowns, being named as a two-time first-team all-state selection by The Oklahoman.

Rated as a three-star recruit by major recruiting services 247Sports and Rivals, Stoops received scholarship offers from Air Force, Iowa, Memphis, Ohio, and Western Kentucky. However, he decided to join Oklahoma as a preferred walk-on.

In his first bowl game, he caught two passes for a career-high 28 yards against LSU in the 2019 Peach Bowl. As a junior, he recorded 16 receptions for 191 yards and two touchdowns despite missing three games. Against Texas Tech, he had a career high-tying three receptions for 57 yards and a touchdown.
