Oklahoma is still looking for a quarterback from the Class of 2009.

Four-star dual-threat quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase of Kansas City (Mo.) Rockhurst announced on a Kansas City TV station Wednesday evening that he is going to Illinois.

Scheelhaase chose the Fighting Illini over Oklahoma, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska.

Last month, the Sooners lost out on two quarterbacks: Josh Nunes, who is heading to Tennessee, and Jacob Karam, who committed to Texas Tech.

The Sooners currently have three quarterbacks on scholarship in starter Sam Bradford, senior Joey Halzle and true freshman Landry Jones.

But with former Sooner Keith Nichol transferring to Michigan State in the off-season and Halzle set to graduate following this season, OU is expected to sign at least one quarterback from the 2009 class to avoid heading into next year with just two quarterbacks.

At the moment, the Sooners have 14 overall commitments.

Good point, Toby. Doesn't look like he'd see any playing time until his junior or senior season. He made the smart decision.

I was afraid OU might miss out on this kid when I read where he was smart.

Thank you Kirby, very succinct and to that point. And as long as we're being original and mature here, I'd just like to say that J. from Brooklyn has poopy pants.
