100 Days to Football Time in Oklahoma: #25 Justin Broiles By: Ryan Lewis Posted on: August 10, 2021

The Path to Norman

Justin Broiles was a very highly ranked DB out of Oklahoma in the 2018 class. Broiles’ interactions with the staff picked up about a year before his signing with an offer.

A short month later, Broiles announced his desire to be a Sooner.

He proved to be a huge recruiting force after his commitment.

Career So Far

2017 was a redshirt season for the OK Preps defensive back, coupled with some minor injury time. 

His 2018 campaign saw Broiles start in five games and play in eleven before an injury ended his season early. He played a bit of safety, nickel, and corner. 

2019 was similar to the year before; Broiles made appearances at all three levels of the secondary. His only start came in the Peach Bowl, when he started at safety in place of the injured DTY and then slid down to nickel when Bookie was ejected.

In 2020, Justin Broiles again served in the secondary, but once again had the injury bug hit. He played in the first six games of the season, then missed the final five games due to injury.

This Season

Justin Broiles has been a consistent presence in the secondary for three seasons now, with injuries plaguing him throughout. Caleb Kelly and Broiles have been leaders on the defense this offseason, both veterans at this point. With experience all over the secondary, Broiles could conceivably slot in at nickel or either of the safety spots. While the starting roles don’t appear up for grabs, Broiles’ experience should make him a regular player for the Sooners this fall.
