Josh Norman announced Wednesday that he’s leaving his post as director of S.O.U.L. Mission, a position he’s held since 2022, to begin a new role as the executive director at Santa Fe Family Life Center in Oklahoma City. 

“The University of Oklahoma has been more than just a workplace — it has been a home and a foundation,” Norman wrote in a Facebook post. “My time here has been marked by growth, unforgettable memories and relationships that have shaped me.”

A running back and wide receiver for the Sooners from 1998-2001, Norman was a member of OU’s 2000 national championship team. After his time at OU, Norman spent four seasons in the NFL. 

Curtis Lofton, also a former Director of S.O.U.L. Mission, stepped down as the Sooners’ general manager on Jan. 16. Ryan Young is the senior director of S.O.U.L. Mission and former OU linebacker Caleb King-Kelly is also a director of S.O.U.L. Mission.
