The 6-foot-5, 305-pound Winfrey is an absolutely perfect fit for the Sooners scheme under Alex Grinch. Big enough to play the run, long enough to use his hands to control blockers and quick enough off the ball to be a major problem for opposing blocking schemes, Winfrey’s commitment eases Oklahoma football’s concerns about replacing current senior nose guard Neville Gallimore in 2020.
Winfrey is the No. 1 junior college defensive tackle and No. 4 JUCO player overall according to 247sports and had offers from Alabama, LSU, Texas, Florida State, Nebraska and others before choosing the Sooners.
