Sophomore defensive end Reggie Grimes
Oklahoma will be missing its top three tackles for loss and sack producers with Bonitto, Thomas and Winfrey opting out.
It’s a great opportunity for sophomore defensive end Reggie Grimes who has a chance in this game to showcase what his future might look like at Oklahoma.
“It’s been great. This whole transition has been kind of smooth. I think guys have taken to me well, and this is — we all have one common goal, and that’s to win, wanting to make plays, to be the guys that we came here to be. You don’t come to Oklahoma to not be a dude; you know what I mean? I think it’s been great. It’s been an easy transition. We’re having fun,” Grimes said.
Redshirt sophomore Jalen Redmond
In just seven games this season, redshirt sophomore defensive lineman Jalen Redmond registered seven tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. Redmond has starred for OU in the past.
During 2019, Redmond led Oklahoma with 6.5 sacks and finished finished third on the team with 11 tackles for loss. This will be the first time in his career where he’s the opposing team’s primary focus in pass protection, though.
Oklahoma had Ronnie Perkins in 2019, Redmond opted out of the 2020 season and Bonitto and Thomas were the Sooners’ primary pass rushers this season.
It’s go time for Redmond to show that he can still be productive when he’s the opponents’ focal point in pass protection.
