Oklahoma’s freak-athlete edge rusher finally gets his chance
Okoye enters the 2026 season as a high-upside DL/EDGE with rare explosiveness, and Oklahoma coach Brent Venables has even called him the team’s best athlete. In 2025, he played in 11 games and posted 6 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, and 2 sacks, so the production is still modest — but the traits jump off the screen. He looks like a fit for a team that wants twitch, length, and developmental upside, especially if you value pass-rush juice and special-teams energy while he learns to be more consistent against the run.
