The TrendPulseUFL's Arlington Renegades could potentially have a Stoops reunion during the 2025 season.
The Renegades, coached by former Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops, drafted former Sooners receiver Drake Stoops, Bob's son, in the 10th round of the 2024 UFL (United Football League) draft on Wednesday.
Drake, along with other NFL undrafted free agent signees, were selected in the UFL draft on Wednesday. The Sooners' leading receiver in 2023 is currently aiming to make the Los Angeles Rams' roster after signing with the team after the 2024 NFL draft, but being drafted into the UFL likely indicates a backup plan.
Drake had a career season in 2023, finishing the year with a team-leading 84 receptions, 962 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns in his sixth season in Norman.
Drake has played for his dad once his career, when Bob served as the Sooners' interim head coach following Lincoln Riley's departure ahead of the 2021 Alamo Bowl against Oregon. Drake caught one pass for six yards in the game, but it was a second-quarter touchdown that resulted in a big celebration between the father-son duo on the sideline.

Drake, a former walk-on, earned a scholarship in 2021 and emerged into one of OU's most trusted receivers in his final two seasons in 2022 and 2023. The Norman native was a three-star recruit out of high school, according to 247Sports' Composite rankings, holding scholarship offers from Iowa, Ohio, Memphis and others before opting to join the Sooners.
Bob and the Renegades won the XFL championship in 2023, but competed in the UFL this season after the XFL and USFL merged to create the new spring league.
