The Path to Norman

PJ Adebawore was a top 20 recruit in the 2023 class. An edge prospect from Kansas City, Adebawore had offers from many top programs in the country, including Georgia, LSU, Oregon, and USC. Edge Coach Miguel Chavis had only been in Norman a short time, but managed to win the commitment of the elite prospect in the summer of 2022.

Career so Far

P.J. played in every game for OU as a true freshman. He showed tremendous athleticism and a knack for getting into the backfield. Even in limited snaps, fans could see huge potential.

2024 was a quieter season for the EDGE player; despite playing in 10 games, he battled injuries throughout the season and had limited action.

Adebawore was a bigger factor once again in 2025, although EDGE was still a crowded room with RMT, Taylor Wein, and Marvin Jones Jr. Still, PJ played in every game and found himself in the backfield several times.

This Season

Wein is the clear leader of the EDGE room for the Sooners. After that, it’s a tight battle between Danny Okoye and Adebawore to man the other starting spot. Both will factor in heavily for the OU defensive line this year, a line that is expected to be one of the top in the country.
