Oklahoma sophomore LB Brian Asamoah is expected to take on a bigger role in the Sooners defense this season according to Jason Kersey of The Athletic.
The big news out of Norman on Monday was the knee injury suffered by redshirt senior Caleb Kelly, and it’s feared that he suffered a torn ACL. That leaves a gaping hole next to DaShaun White at inside linebacker, as Kelly was expected to take over as the leader of the Oklahoma defense now that Kenneth Murray is in the NFL. So who fills that void? It’s expected that Asamoah (6'1, 230) will be first up, as he appeared in 13 games (23 total tackles) in 2019. Another possibility is moving senior Jon-Michael Terry back inside, but the general consensus has Asamoah being that guy next to White.
