The Path to Norman
Ryan Fodje was initially an under-the-radar recruit. The Texas high school product was playing EDGE and starting his junior season when Coach Bedenbaugh made an offer, Fodje’s first. Within six months, Fodje had a few dozen offers from big programs, including USC, Texas, Oregon, and many more. However, on a visit to Norman in early 2024, Fodje committed to the Sooners.
1000% Commited!!

TFB’s Super K saw him in person shortly after his commitment and came away impressed; read his reaction below:
Career so Far
Fodje ended up having a much larger role than expected his freshman season. He played in 13 games, seeing six starts – four at right tackle, two at right guard. He was top ten on the team in offensive snaps played and grew as the season progressed.

This Season
Fodje missed time this spring with a leg injury but is expected to be a full go this fall. With his experience gained at both guard and tackle last season, he brings a lot to the OL room. He’s expected to start at right guard and will look to build on a full season of playing time from his freshman year.
