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.

Crimson Countdown: No. 76 Jacob Sexton

2024 stats: Started eight games, four at left tackle, four at left guard

2025 outlook:

Simply put, Sexton has to make it through a season completely healthy. It’s the only way to truly gauge where he stacks up in the logjam of tackles OU has going into the 2025 season.

When he’s been healthy and available, Sexton has looked the part. He has certainly had some solid moments. But you need the consistency and that only happens if he can be out there every single day.

What Sexton does have going for him is legitimate versatility. He can play inside or outside and it doesn’t really affect him one way or the other.

OU has done a great job of replenishing the line and developing the guys. Sexton should be in the mix, and we’ll see where things go from there.

2025 offensive tackle outlook

There is depth at the spot for OU. The question is about the quality. How good will some of these guys be? Whether it’s the development of guys like Logan Howland and Jacob Sexton, or the transfer additions of Derek Simmons and Luke Baklenko. Then, of course, there is the freshman stud waiting in the wings with Michael Fasusi. You feel confident the Sooners are going to find two guys to be the pillars for 2025. The legitimate question is simply how long will it take for OU to find the right two at tackle and right five with the line?
