While the NFL draft is just days away, more last minite mock drafts and big boards are being produced by various media outlets. Four Oklahoma Sooners were listed on Daniel Jeremiah’s top 150 prospects list. However, those are based on how they project to the NFL level. What if you ranked prospects based on their college production?
CBS Sports’ Chip Patterson did exactly that for the top 32 prospects in the upcoming draft. Only one Sooners made the list with edge defender Ronnie Perkins.
No. 22: Ronnie Perkins, Defensive End
Coming in at No. 22, Perkins narrowly edged out fellow Big 12 pass rusher Joseph Ossai.
We saw Perkins first flash as a freshman when he started seven of the final eight games of the year and finished as the team leader in sacks. He continued to be one of the team’s primary pass rush threats and then his value to the Sooners was evident when he missed the first five games of 2020. Perkins has the kind of havoc-inducing length you love to see in an edge rusher, and that showed up in 10.5 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks in the final six games of the year when he was in the lineup.
