The OU defense has been dissected and discussed ad nauseam over the past week and a half, with a new defensive coordinator in Ruffin McNeil and linebackers coach in Bob Diaco, but the Sooners also got some big personnel news during the last week with the clearing of true freshman Jalen Redmond.
Redmond was thought to be lost for the season in August with blood clot issues, but has made a faster recovery than expected and will likely see the field against TCU this week.
The four-star defensive end/linebacker was scheduled to be the day one starter at the “jack” position, which had previously been occupied by the likes of Erik Striker and Obo Okoronkwo.
