NORMAN Thursdays Brent Venables Football Camp marked Peyton Houston s sixth time visiting Oklahoma.

Houston is a 4-star quarterback prospect in the Class of 2027 from Shreveport, LA.

He went to OUs game against Tennessee in the fall and has been to Norman plenty of times since.

This time, Houston competed alongside other high-caliber recruits in position drills at the camp led by OUs football coach on Thursday.

Houston said this trip to Norman was just like his first five: memorable.

We had a lot of dawgs out here to compete, Houston said.

The coaches put us in a great position to learn, and thats ultimately what these camps are about.

Teaching us how to get to the next level, seeing where we stack up against the competition.

Observations from Oklahoma Brent Venables Football Camp Session II Though Houstons numbers were stellar as a sophomore, hes pinpointed areas of his game that need improvement before the 2025 fall.

Right now Im working on tightening up my mechanics, getting a quicker release, Houston said.

I always work on getting bigger, stronger, faster.

At Thursdays camp, Houston was pleased with his overall performance.

But he noted a handful of areas in which he couldve done better.

Going back home, Im really going to work on my deep balls; Im overthrowing a lot of those, Houston said.

Working on being more consistent and knowing the receiver Im throwing to.

I had some good throws.

Houstons hometown, Shreveport, is less than six hours away from Norman.

The young quarterback prospect has taken advantage of Normans proximity and fallen in love with OUs football culture.

Its different, for sure, Houston said.

Its a great atmosphere.

Im ready to see what this new atmosphere looks like with the new coaching staff, too.

Houston also believes that Oklahomas staff conducts itself on a spiritual basis and thats exactly what hes looking for in a prospective program.

They really believe in God here, and thats what they build their program on, Houston said.

Thats a big thing for me, I go to a Christian school.

Knowing without God, I wouldnt be in this position, going to a school with the same foundation is very big.

Jaden ONeal of the 2026 class is the only quarterback committed to OU in any future classes, and fellow 2026 prospect Bowe Bentley has announced that the Sooners are one of two finalists along with LSU in his recruitment.

The Sooners are far from the only school that has taken notice of Houstons potential.

Houston has accrued dozens of offers, most of which have come from Power Four schools.

He previously attended a camp at Texas and is scheduled to compete at Clemson and USCs camps this summer.

Houston still has plenty of time to choose a program, as hes entering his junior year.

But when the time comes to choose, he will rely on his faith to make his decision clear.

(Footballs) definitely big here in the south; theres really no ties, though, Houston said.

Wherever God calls me to be, thats where Im going to be..
