Oklahoma star DE Ronnie Perkins named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week

Oklahoma defensive end Ronnie Perkins has been named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week after his big game against Oklahoma State.

Oklahoma dominated Bedlam on Saturday night by a final score of 41-13 to improve to 6-2 on the season.

A big part of the victory stemmed from a fantastic defensive output led by defensive end Ronnie Perkins. His largely impactful showing was good enough to earn him the honor of Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week.

Perkins had five tackles including three tackles for loss and two sacks in the Sooners’ big win. His impact on the defense since his return a few weeks ago has been quite obvious as he has the unit playing like certainly one of the best in the Big 12 right now.

Next up for him and the rest of his Oklahoma teammates will be a road trip to Morgantown to face West Virginia on Saturday night.
