3. Ben Kopenski, EDGE
Ben Kopenski is one of the more notable names on a solid Tulsa defense. There’s a lot of veteran leadership on the roster, especially on the defensive side of the football.
Kopenski is a smaller EDGE defender, but after getting his start at Oklahoma State as a walk-on, Kopenski has become a solid collegiate football player. As a senior in 2022 at Oklahoma State, he played in all 13 games and was credited with 14 tackles, including four TFLs, 3.5 sacks, and eight QB hurries. He has two sacks this season and is currently tied for fourth in the AAC.
Whether he faces Walter Rouse or Tyler Guyton, the Sooners must account for Kopenski off the EDGE.
