Oklahoma offensive tackle Orlando Brown has declared for the NFL draft.
After talking things over with my family and coaches, I will be declaring early for the NFL Draft. It’s been an amazing 4 years here. I wouldn’t want to be a part of any other university. Thank you Sooner Nation!!! ⭕️🙌🏾

Brown has been a three year starter, and is projected to be drafted very early in the first round. He was a Unanimous All-American in 2017, along with conference offensive lineman of the year.
Losing Orlando to the draft, while not unexpected, is a loss for the Sooners. He will be one of two Sooners offensive line starters departing, joining senior Erick Wren. However, it is a unit with an excellent amount of depth and an impressive level of talent coming in.
