Febechi Nwaiwu was Oklahoma’s ironman anchor—and one of the SEC’s cleanest interior pass protectors
In the 2025 season, Febechi Nwaiwu was a model of reliability for Oklahoma, starting all 13 games and finishing as the Sooners’ only offensive lineman to start every game over his two-year OU run. He made the leap from former walk-on to legitimate NFL prospect by pairing a stout base and strong grip with sharp recognition of twists and stunts, and he didn’t allow a sack while giving up just two quarterback hurries on 505 pass-block snaps in 2025. He’s the kind of tough, steady, high-IQ blocker every offense loves.
