100 Days to Football Time in Oklahoma: #24 Brian Asamoah By: Ryan Lewis Posted on: August 5, 2020

The Path to Norman

Brian Asamoah’s offer came the spring of his junior year of high school. His original plan was to commit to a school a month later, but he postponed that commitment. He made plans to attend the ChampUBBQ for quite some time, certainly showing a high level of interest in the Sooners. Brian had nothing but great things to say about the visit, really enjoying his time spent with Coach Kish. At first, it looked like he’d be committing immediately following the visit. OU fans had to wait a little longer than that for a commitment, but Brian once got his parents to Norman for the first game of the season, he committed just a few days later. 

TFB got to know his family a little better shortly after his commitment; Sooner nation can see more about them below. 

Career So Far

Asamoah took a redshirt season in 2018. The next season, his playing time kicked into full gear. Asamoah played in 13 games in 2019 at linebacker. He earned his reps at the WILL linebacker spot, which DaShaun White headlined, along with Ryan Jones and Caleb Kelly.

Highlights

2020 Season

Asamoah’s athleticism has proven to be a huge asset so far. This year will be interesting. A week ago, it seemed that Kelly would be starting at MIKE and White would start at WILL, with Asamoah first man behind White. With Kelly’s injury, the linebacker position is in a bit of flux. The staff will be looking at Brian to step into bigger minutes this season; his athleticism will be a huge asset as Asamoah looks to be a big factor at linebacker in 2020.
