SHAWNEE – Oklahoma Baptist football coach
Chris Jensen has announced the signings of 24 student-athletes to National Letters of Intent. The 2021 football signing class includes student-athletes primarily from Texas (13) and Oklahoma (9), with two coming from the state of Arkansas.
By position group, this year's class includes six offensive linemen, five wide receivers, four defensive backs, four linebackers, two tight ends, and one quarterback, running back, and defensive lineman.
"What a big day for OBU," said Jensen. "We're excited for the class we signed. We look for a special type of student-athlete to come play football at Oklahoma Baptist University and as a program we've fine tuned our ability to communicate that as we've signed a bunch of quality guys today."
Jensen, who prepares for his ninth season, and his staff completed their most successful season since joining NCAA Division II in 2019 at 7-4. OBU has now won 11 straight games over Oklahoma schools and has completed a second consecutive perfect record against its Oklahoma counterparts (5-0). The 2020 season was canceled due to COVID-19.
