Ruffcorn racked up a productive five saves last season while maintaining a 0.00 ERA in his seven appearances. His 12 strikeouts and .115 opponent batting average helped the fifth-year senior stand out and earn preseason All-American honors in addition to his conference accolades.
Graham was a breakout star for the Sooners in his freshman year and comes into this season as one of the most exciting members of Skip Johnson’s team. He was named to the preseason All- American third-team ahead of his sophomore year.
