It’s a big season for second-year defensive tackle David Stone. Stone is coming off a freshman year in which he only played 94 snaps for the Sooners. But that number could triple in 2025. The former five-star has high expectations at OU this year. He’s expected to be a major part of the defensive line rotation along with returning contributors Damonic Williams, Gracen Halton and Jayden Jackson.
