Former five-star edge defender trending up for Oklahoma
Adepoju Adebawore is a high-upside Oklahoma defensive lineman whose value comes from his burst, length, and disruptive ceiling rather than gaudy volume numbers; in 2025 he posted 17 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks while playing a career-high 283 snaps, showing real growth after injury-affected earlier seasons. Reports from Oklahoma sources say he has battled injuries but is entering 2026 with breakout buzz because his motor, power and improving consistency fit a defense that needs an edge who can win off the snap and create pressure in key moments.[7][9][10][14]
