Highlights

This Season

The interior defensive line was one of the brightest groups for the Sooners in 2024. A lot of pieces are returning for 2025, including Damonic Williams, Jayden Jackson, David Stone, and Gracen Halton. Ace Hodges will provide depth at the spot this season and look to be a contributor later in his career.
