Taylor Heim, a three star player from Yukon, at 6-4, 190 pounds was the 26th player signed for the 2023 Sooners.

Coach Brent Venables remarked, “Everything Taylor’s done, he’s autographed his work with excellence. He’s a three-sport standout who also excels on the basketball court and is a state champion long jumper. In football, he did everything – playing quarterback, receiver, tight end, safety. He’s just a long and very fluid and explosive athlete who shows great instincts and has a natural feel for the game. He’s got an incredibly high motor and is tough and skilled – just tremendous skill for a long guy. And he’s a really bright young man with a great work ethic and who is a leader. He’s got all the traits you can’t coach. We’re super excited to add Taylor to this quality class of newcomers.”

He  was selected  by The Oklahoman as a defensive back in the Little All-City First Team, helped his team to the 2022 state playoffs and was selected to play in the Oklahoma Coaches Association 2023 All-State Game.

The Sooners are now ranked fourth in the 247 Sports Composite and also by ESPN.
