In what has been a frustrating year for the Oklahoma Sooners, left tackle Anton Harrsion has been a rock for Jeff Lebby’s offense. OU’s 700-yard performance against the Kansas Jayhawks did not go unnoticed by Pro Football Focus. The Sooners’ left tackle made PFF’s week seven Team of the Week.
Harrison didn’t allow a single pressure on 51 pass-blocking snaps against Kansas. Throw in a 82.1 run block grade, and the big fella gets his name on PFF’s Team of the Week.
Bill Bedenbaugh’s unit has done a good job protecting the quarterback this season, and keeping Dillon Gabriel upright and clean in the pocket is going to be of the utmost importance for the rest of this season.
Gabriel has rarely gotten hit in the pocket this season, which is a testament to how smart he is with the football, but the offensive line does a good job of giving him time to drop back and pick defenses apart.
If one OU player gets taken in the first round of the NFL Draft next year, it’s going to be Anton Harrison. Good left tackles don’t grow on trees and Harrison will only improve as he gets more and more aggresive.
Harrsion’s NFL Draft stock has been on the rise for awhile now. The Sooners will likely need a new left tackle next season.
