There is a ton of momentum to having a 2020 college football season these days. No definite signs, yet, but the season would start less than 100 days from now.
Sooners Wire will be creating player cards for readers to be introduced to the 2020 roster.
Here is the offensive No. 11 for the Sooners.
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Name: Nik Bonitto
Number: No. 11

Height/Weight: 6-foot-3, 231 pounds
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Making eight starts in the final eight games of the season, Bonitto has an opportunity to become a cornerstone of the Oklahoma defense.
Redshirting his freshman year and playing in just three contests in 2018, Bonitto has earned a role for Alex Grinch and the Sooners at outside linebacker.
A four-star recruit in the 2018 class, Bonitto has 49 career tackles, four passes defended, three and a half sacks, six and a half tackles for loss, and an interception that helped seal the 25-point comeback against Baylor in Waco last season.
Bonitto’s career-high for tackles is six, which he recorded against Houston in Week 1 of 2019. He has had four games of which he has recorded at least five tackles.
