Former Oklahoma LB Eric Striker has joined the program's coaching staff as a defensive recruiting analyst, coach Bob Stoops announced Thursday.
Striker played for the Sooners from 2012-15, tallying 191 total tackles and 23 sacks as a three-year starter. He was named an All-American as a senior in 2015.
After graduation and a short stint with the NFL's Buffalo Bills, Striker was hired by OU's student life office as a graduate assistant as he worked towards a Master's Degree.
Oklahoma currently has 2018 commitments from three players on the defensive side of the ball -- CB Jordon Austin, DT Jordan Kelley and S Patrick Fields, all of whom are three-star prospects, according to 247Sports.
