Oklahoma Sooners offensive lineman Febechi Nwaiwu (54) celebrates with Oklahoma Sooners running back Xavier Robinson (24) after a touchdown during a college football game between the University of Oklahoma Sooners (OU) and the Ole Miss Rebels at Gaylord Family Ð Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Okla., Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025. Ole Miss won 34-26.

Febechi Nwaiwu hadn't played center since his senior season at Coppell High School in 2020. That changed on Saturday, as OU needed the senior offensive lineman to play center.
