Highlights

This Season

Picking up a scholarship cornerback from Utah as a PWO speaks well of OU’s roster and staff, along with how well thought of the OU program currently is. Although Malaska’s athleticism has impressed since arriving, the cornerback room is quite deep and will be hard to crack. Malaska will likely continue working on special teams as he did at Utah and look forward to more playing time in later years.
