Ugwoebu is a 6-foot-5, 225-pound defensive end from Katy, Texas. A tall, twitchy prospect who had offers from Texas A&M, Alabama, Auburn, TCU, Texas and Wisconsin – among others, Ugwoebu’s film shows raw untapped talent waiting to be developed under the right guidance.
Most importantly Ugwoebu fits the direction the Sooners are going on the defensive line under new coordinator Alex Grinch.
Grinch’s scheme relies on players aggressively getting into gaps, rather than occupying and controlling blockers. This contrasts the Sooners’ defensive line strategy of the past few years, where linemen were asked to occupy blocks, control multiple gaps and clear room for linebackers to come up and make plays.
