Commit Video Breakdown: 4-star WR Charleston Rambo

Cedar Hill (Texas) wide receiver, and brand new Oklahoma commit Charleston Rambo is a long-strider who can eat up chunks of yards in just a few steps.

The 6-foot-2, 170-pound receiver has a smoothness to everything he does. Whether it’s making a defender miss underneath and turning it into a big gain or spinning around a defensive back in the secondary, Rambo not only does it all, but does it with an effortless flair.

The Rivals250 receiver does a nice job using his hands to catch the football away from his body. The junior receiver has a knack for plucking the ball away for contested catches. Rambo is also not afraid to work the middle of the field and once the ball is in his hands he has a great feel for the space around him.

Watch on this play as Rambo works off the inside coverage to the space outside, turns upfield, immediately makes the safety miss by working back inside, before planting his foot at the 37-yard-line to accelerate vertically upfield and pick up a huge chunk of yardage after the catch.

It's this kind of play that truly separates Rambo from his peers and makes him special. He has the length and deep speed to work over the top, but also the quickness to burn you underneath. Defenses must respect his ability to beat you deep without allowing the Cedar Hill star to shred them with yards after the catch.

His feel for space and natural instincts make Rambo valuable when a play breaks down, as he knows how to either turn upfield or work back to his quarterback depending on the situation. A trait Sooner fans have enjoyed watching Sterling Shepard perfect in 2015 with Baker Mayfield at the helm.

Ultimately, Rambo is a big, smooth receiver with a great feel for the game. If he can add some strength to his frame in a college weightlifting program, the Cedar Hill wide receiver is almost a sure bet to contribute at the next level due to the multitude of skill-sets the Rivals250 receiver brings with him.
