Crimson Countdown: No. 7 Sammy Omosigho
The Crimson Countdown is officially on for the 2025 Oklahoma football season. Everybody wants to forget about 2024 and move forward.
Head coach Brent Venables and staff have attempted to do that. New face calling the offense (Ben Arbuckle). Venables calling the defense, it’s now or never for this regime at OU in the SEC. No beating around the bush.
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.

2025 outlook:
If you’re looking for a possible breakout star candidate, you might stop down with third-year linebacker Sammy Omosigho. After appearing in all 13 games last season, Omosigho made the move to inside linebacker this spring and is becoming more and more comfortable.
It’s been said the light comes on for guys in their third year in Brent Venables’ defense. Omosigho will be looking for a large role this season, following the departure of Danny Stutsman.
Look for the junior linebacker to become a household name.
2025 linebacker outlook:
OU should feel pretty strong about its group, at least initially. It feels like a quality three guys going for two spots. And then whoever doesn’t start between Kobie McKinzie, Kip Lewis and Sammy Omosigho, will see plenty of time in the rotation. The key will be to develop just a little more depth. That’s what preseason camp has all been about. You can trust and feel confident with this trio but beyond that? It’s when you start to wonder. Trying to stay fresh and stay healthy is imperative in 2025.
