From time to time, redshirt freshman Keenan Clayton will hear his name thrown in next to that of former Oklahoma star Roy Williams, which he knows would be a difficult reputation to match.

But it's another former Sooner that Clayton is most often asked about.
Do you ever get asked if you're related to Mark Clayton? Everywhere I go, every time somebody sees my last name, they're like, "Are you any kind of relation to Mark?" But no, we're no relation.
You wore No. 9 last year. Why did you change to No. 22? I wanted to wear 22 when I got here, because that's what I wore in high school, but Chijioke (Onyenegecha) was a senior. He left, and I asked if I could get my high school number back.
Some guys on the team have compared you to Roy Williams. How does that feel?
That's a big shoe to fill, being compared to Roy Williams. But that's a goal for me to accomplish. Hopefully, by the time I leave here, I'll be able to fill those shoes.
