Isaiah Sategna III was a splash addition for Oklahoma in 2025. While Sooners are excited to see him build on that standout 2025 season, Sategna may not be the most well-known name around the SEC and the rest of the country.
On Monday, Greg McElroy slotted Sategna at No. 4 in his wide receiver rankings, calling the veteran wideout an under-the-radar start. In a clip shared on X, McElroy pointed to Sategna’s speed.

“The gap between good and great is measured by hundreds of a second,” McElroy said. “This guy is a Ferrari, and that shows up on the football field when you watch him.
“And if you look at some of the numbers, his first year in Norman last year… he went for 67 catches, 965 and 8 touchdowns. He was second-team All-SEC. He led the entire conference in receiving yards against SEC competition.”
McElroy continued, noting how Sategna’s speed made him a big-play threat in the Sooner passing attack.
“And Oklahoma had 25 receptions of 15 or more yards downfield. Well, Sategna was on the receiving end of three touchdowns, 50-plus yards in the SEC.
“And he accounted for over 31% of Oklahoma’s total receiving yards. If (OU quarterback John) Mateer can be a little bit more consistent in the middle part of the season, and if the supporting cast can draw attention a little bit more consistently away from him than they did last year. Sategna is a real under-the-radar star for the Oklahoma Sooners.”
Can Sategna and the Sooners make it back to the College Football Playoff? Kalshi is taking early action on predictions!
