Highlights
This Season
Wein’s name has been a popular one this offseason, as he has been mentioned often as putting in the work to carve out a big role at EDGE this fall.
R Mason Thomas will be the clear leader of the EDGE group and defense as a whole. The Sooners brought in Marvin Jones from the transfer portal and PJ Adebawore returns to compete at the spot. However, Wein has made a lot of noise and will be pushing hard for the starting job opposite RMT. Whether or not he starts, Wein should be in for a breakout season.
