His 2006 receiving corps hauled in 17 touchdown grabs. Malcolm Kelly recorded one of the top seasons in school history and reached 1,000 career receiving yards faster than any player in school history.
In 2005, the OU tight ends accounted for three of the team's nine touchdown receptions, while the special teams witnessed the emergence of P Cody Freeby, who ranked No. 18 nationally. The Sooners were No. 10 in net punting. Also on the special teams, return specialist Reggie Smith made a mark as a true freshman, leading the team with a 20.9-yard average on 18 attempts.
OU's tight ends became a more integral part of the Sooner offensive scheme in Sumlin's second season (2004). The group went from 18 receptions for 219 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games of the 2003 season to 23 catches for 226 yards and four touchdowns in 12 games.
