Oklahoma 2020 player card: No. 2 David Ugwoegbu

Sooners Wire will be creating player cards for readers to be introduced to the 2020 roster. Here is the second No. 2: David Ugwoegbu.

There is a ton of momentum to having a 2020 college football season these days. No definite signs, yet, but the season would start three and a half months from now.

Sooners Wire will be creating player cards for readers to be introduced to the 2020 roster.

Here is the second No. 2 on Oklahoma’s roster.


Name: David Ugwoegbu

Number: No. 2

Year: Sophomore

Position: RUSH linebacker

Hometown: Katy, Texas

Height/Weight: 6-foot-4, 245 pounds


David Ugwoegbu came to Oklahoma as a long, wire-y edge rusher that needed to add weight. Added weight he did, and added more weight he has.

The Katy, Texas, native was a four-star recruit per rivals, listed as the No. 25 weak-side defensive end and the No. 58 player in Texas. Ugwoegbu picked Oklahoma over Texas, Texas A&M and offers from the likes of Alabama and Michigan.

After a season-ending injury to starter Jon-Michael Terry, Ugwoegbu and fellow RUSH linebacker Nik Bonitto took a stranglehold of the position. Ugwoegbu played in all 14 games as a freshman, making 19 tackles, recording four tackles for loss and one sack.

He and Bonitto should continue to see meaningful snaps at the RUSH linebacker position.
