Brian Odom continues to be a fundamental part of turning around the Oklahoma Sooners defense for good, and he proved it today by earning a commitment from elite linebacker Kip Lewis. It seems not far in the past that the Sooners were at slim pickings for linebackers in their system, but under Grinch and particularly Odom, Oklahoma now seems to be getting legit talent with Kobie McKinzie (and now Lewis) in the 2022 cycle. The newly committed linebacker is from Carthage, Texas chose the Sooners over several programs big offers such as USC, Texas, TCU, Notre Dame, LSU, A&M and others.
