Rondell Bothroyd brought proven pass-rush juice to Oklahoma
A seasoned, high-motor defensive lineman, Rondell Bothroyd arrived at Oklahoma in 2023 after five years at Wake Forest and immediately gave the Sooners a veteran edge presence; in the 2023 season, he started 13 games, posted 25 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, a team-high 8 quarterback hurries, 1 pass breakup, and 1 fumble recovery, earning All-Big 12 honorable mention. He stood out more for disruption, effort, and experience than pure sack totals, making him a strong fit for a team that values reliable pressure, toughness, and mature, plug-and-play defensive line play.
