Crimson Countdown: No. 33 Phil Picciotti
2023 stats: Redshirted as a freshman following a season-ending knee injury
2024 outlook: The redshirt freshman should provide depth at an already deep linebacker position. Now healthy following a knee injury that robbed the 6-foot-3, 240-pound linebacker of his rookie season in Norman, it will be interesting to see how he fits into the plans under first year linebackers coach Zac Alley.
2024 inside linebacker outlook:
The linebacker is stacked for the Sooners in 2024. Senior Danny Stutsman leads the way for Oklahoma, after he chose to stay one more year. Next to Stutsman are a host of guys, including Kip Lewis, Jaren Kanak and Kobie McKinzie, among others. All are fighting for playing time in 2024, including sophomores Lewis Carter and Samuel Omosigho, who were impressive in the spring and could start for Oklahoma next season. Dasan McCullough has also entered the mix, moving to inside linebacker.
