The Oklahoman

Baker Mayfield (Lake Travis)

- BY RYAN ABER, STAFF WRITER

While Oklahoma hasn’t played at AT&T Stadium since 2010, several Sooners have played there. The home of the Dallas Cowboys regularly hosts Texas high school playoff games and a handful of current Sooners who figure to contribute against TCU have experience at the stadium:

Rodney Anderson (Katy)

Anderson’s Katy team played in three consecutiv­e state championsh­ip games at AT&T Stadium, winning in 2012 and falling in 2013 and 2014 — all against Cedar Hill. Anderson had monster games, though, even in the losses.

Robert Barnes (Southlake Carroll)

When Barnes was a sophomore in 2014, the Dragons won back-to-back games at AT&T Stadium to start the playoffs. As a junior in 2011, Mayfield threw for 294 yards and a touchdown in a 22-7 win over Waco Midway in the Class 4A Division I state title game. It was Lake Travis’ fifth consecutiv­e state title.

Kyler Murray and Bobby Evans (Allen)

Murray capped off an incredible career with 316 passing yards and five touchdowns, plus 63 yards rushing, in a 47-16 state title win over Cypress Ranch in the 2014 Class 6A Division I title game. It was the Eagles’ third playoff game that season in the stadium.

Erick Wren (Mesquite Horn)

Wren was a sophomore in the 2010 Horn team that beat Rowlett 44-22 in the second round of the playoffs.
