The Path to Norman
Troy Everett, an east coast product, was a standout lineman in Virginia. A member of the 2021 recruiting class, Everett joined Appalachian State to play college ball. After two seasons at App St, Everett entered the portal; Coach Bedenbaugh was quick to pick up the big man.

This Season
Everett was expected to take over the starting job at center this fall. However, meniscus surgery this spring has him sidelined until at least fall camp. The Sooners added SMU transfer Branson Hickman from the portal, who is now set to start. If healthy, Everett could push for the starting job this year. Otherwise, he can take the time to get fully healthy and be ready for next year.
