Oklahoma athlete (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sooner

'oklahoma athlete' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sooner that I've seen before include "Earlier than previously thought" , "Rather" , "nickname of US State" , "Earlier; more willingly" , "Earlier or preferably" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the Universal.
