Coming into the 2018 season, the big question facing the Oklahoma Sooners’ linebacking corps appeared to be how junior Caleb Kelly would handle a move inside.
Through two games, it hasn’t made much of a difference. That’s not Kelly’s fault. Instead, fifth-year senior Curtis Bolton has claimed the WILL position for his own.
Bolton’s emergence and the development of sophomore Kenneth Murray have created an imposing tandem for the Sooners at inside linebacker, which is now a position of strength for OU’s improved defense.

At 6-0, 218 pounds, Bolton is built in the mold of predecessor Emmanuel Beal.
