Dasan McCullough, Cheetah
Oklahoma’s most heralded transfer portal addition, Dasan McCullough, will make his Oklahoma debut on Saturday. McCullough transferred from Indiana this past winter after having a freshman All-American season where he appeared in all 12 games and made four starts. He then landed freshman All-America honors from ESPN, The Athletic (second team), and College Football News (second team). He ranked seventh on that team with 49 tackles, second on the squad with 6.5 tackles for loss, and tied for the team lead with 4.0 sacks. He registered three pass breakups and tied for second on the team with three QB hurries. He is a playmaker and could be a dynamic weapon at Cheetah, taking this defense to new heights.
Coverage is something that he’s likely a liability in as of right now, so look for senior Justin Harrington to be on the field covering guys downfield. But playing McCullough in and around the box and having him go and play downhill could reap plenty of benefits for this defense. He’s certainly someone we’re looking to check out.
