disruptive, low-mileage interior DL who flashed real sack juice at Oklahoma
In the 2025 season, Markus Strong carved out a bigger role for Oklahoma, posting 7 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, and 1 sack across 11 games; over his three-year Sooners career, he totaled 10 tackles, 4 for loss, and 3 sacks. He’s a thick 6-3, 297-pound interior defender whose best calling card is burst-to-contact inside, with enough pop to finish plays rather than just occupy gaps. The fit question is simple: if a staff wants a rotational DL with upside and functional pass-rush impact, he’s intriguing; if it wants a finished anchor, he’s more work in progress than sure thing.
