Oklahoma Sooners Defense: A Force to be Reckoned with in 2024
Heading into the 2024 season, the Oklahoma Sooners boast one of the most experienced defenses in the country. With much attention focused on standout players like Danny Stutsman and Billy Bowman, it is easy to overlook the other talented defenders on the team. However, one player who is gaining recognition for his potential NFL prospects is defensive end Ethan Downs.
Downs has shown his ability to disrupt plays off the edge and has established himself as a key player on the Sooners defense with back-to-back seasons of 4.5 sacks and 20 tackles for loss. Known for his high-effort playing style, Downs is capable of pressuring quarterbacks and stopping the run effectively. As he enters his third year in Brent Venables’ system, he is projected to see increased production and improve his draft stock.
With his versatility as a defensive end, excelling in both running and passing situations, Downs is a valuable asset to the team. As the 2024 season unfolds, it will be interesting to see how he continues to develop and contribute to the Sooners’ success.
