Crimson Countdown: No. 16 Danny Okoye
The Crimson Countdown is officially on for the 2024 Oklahoma football season. Fans have been waiting for what feels like forever with this one. The Sooners are finally and officially joining the SEC.
The 2023 season was a rebound one for head coach Brent Venables, getting the program back to its standard. OU went 10-3 in Venables’ second season, now it’s time for year No. 3.
Every day as we get closer to kickoff, SoonerScoop.com will count down the days with you. Starting with No. 99 and working our way to No. 0, we’ll be there every step of the way.
Crimson Countdown: No. 16 Danny Okoye
2023 stats: N/A.
2024 outlook:
Another year, another talented freshman to keeps tabs on. But also another year of that freshman being incredibly raw.
However, it is hard to deny the splash Okoye has made with people during the first couple of weeks of camp. All the tools are there for him to develop into something special.
The only question now is how fast it all comes together? The defensive end group is deep with experience and production. If Okoye is seeing legitimate reps in October, the only way will be because he earned them.
Summer conditioning was huge for Okoye, and we’ll see how that translates to his on-field performance.
2024 defensive end outlook
OU has a good mix of experience and talent at the defensive end position in 2024. The old guys for the Sooners are Ethan Downs, Trace Ford and Miami Ohio transfer Caiden Woullard. Downs is the unquestioned leader of the group, entering his fourth and final season for OU. But OU does have a host of young guys looking to contribute and possibly start. R Mason Thomas and PJ Adebawore both feel like players who could have breakout seasons in Norman. And freshmen Nigel Smith and Danny Okoye are hoping to find some sort of role in 2024.
