a sturdy, experienced OU edge from the Sooners’ 2000-02 era
Eric Hilaire was a 6-foot-3, 236-pound defensive end for Oklahoma in the 2002 season, bringing veteran size and continuity after transferring from Southwestern Oklahoma and developing into a senior rotational piece for the Sooners[1][3][6]. He isn’t a current 2026 Oklahoma player, but as a prospect/college body type he stands out for his compact edge frame and multi-year program experience rather than flash numbers[1][6]. If you’re evaluating him for a roster fit, think dependable depth and physicality on the edge more than headline-grabbing production[1][6][7].
