Sooners Justin Harrington granted extra year, returning for 2024 season

Oklahoma Sooners get Justin Harrington back for the 2024 season.

The Oklahoma Sooners are getting set to kick off spring ball, and they’ve already received some great news for the 2024 season.

[autotag]Justin Harrington[/autotag] was granted a medical redshirt for 2023 and will return for another season with the Sooners in 2024.

Harrington played just two games for the Oklahoma Sooners, primarily at Cheetah. And in that short stint, he was off to a strong start to the 2023 season with six total tackles and an interception.

Though he’ll sit out spring ball, as will wide receiver Andrel Anthony, who also suffered a knee injury, Harrington will be a factor for the Oklahoma Sooners defense.

“They’re coming along well,” Venables said of not only Harrington and Anthony. “It’s big. Justin is a highly invested guy. He’s talented and can do a lot of impressive things. … He understands what commitment is and how we do what we do.”

Harrington joins [autotag]Dasan McCullough[/autotag], [autotag]Kendel Dolby[/autotag], and [autotag]Peyton Bowen[/autotag], who all played significant snaps for the Sooners at Cheetah in 2023. Another veteran presence, the Sooners take an experienced defense into the SEC in 2024.
