Ranking Oklahoma's roster, Nos. 5-1: Baker Mayfield tops the list, but is he the best player in the country?

We've counted down all but five of the 25 best players on Oklahoma's roster entering 2017. Today, we get down to the best of the best -- the Sooners' superstars. Let's get started with a menacing pass-rusher.

Past rankings:

Nos. 10-6

5. Ogbonnia Okoronkwo / senior / linebacker / Taking over for the departed Eric Striker in 2016, Okoronkwo engineered a massive breakout season. He recorded 67 tackles after just eight and nine during his first two seasons in Norman and nine sacks -- tied for No. 24 nationally. Okoronkwo's 13 career sacks are already tied for fourth-best by a linebacker in Oklahoma history and, if he increases his sack total by just one in 2017, he'll break Striker's record of 22.
