Highlights

This Season

Even with a crowded defensive end room, there is a lot of optimism for a breakout season for Adebawore this fall. R Mason Thomas, Ethan Downs, Caiden Woullard, and Trace Ford will all be factors at end. But PJ has an exciting skillset and the tools to make an impact for the Sooners in 2024.
