The Power of Youth: 3 Sooners to watch on defense vs. Tulsa

There’s a youth movement happening on defense and these three defenders will be Sooners to keep an eye on come Saturday.

R Mason Thomas, EDGE

R Mason Thomas debuted Saturday after missing the Sooners’ opening game against Arkansas State.

He graded out as one of the six best Sooners on defense that game. After rave reviews from his teammates and coaches, seeing how he elevates his game as a sophomore will be fun.

Thomas is a blur off the edge. He offers something none of the other Sooners EDGE defenders have with his speed and quickness.

As Oklahoma continues to build confidence and learn who the playmakers are on this defense, we’ll watch R Mason Thomas on Saturday and see if he can get some pressure on the quarterback.
