Anchoring the offensive line, Creed Humphrey continues to garner attention from across the nation. As only returning starter for the Oklahoma Sooners after four others were selected in the 2019 NFL Draft. Now the unquestioned leader of the unit, the expectations remain high for the center.
Neville Gallimore joins the list as a defensive tackle. Continuing to progress on the field, the defense relies on the talent of this tackle in an effort to produce better numbers. Knowing the defense remained a weak point of the program a year ago, Gallimore’s name list here provides hope as there certainly is talent at all levels at the University of Oklahoma.
