R Mason Thomas OU
Oklahoma's R Mason Thomas (32) and Jonah Laulu (8) celebrate a play in the second half of the college football game between the University of Oklahoma Sooners and the University of Central Florida Knights at Gaylord Family Oklahoma-Memorial Stadium in Norman, Okla., Saturday, Oct., 21, 2023.

R Mason Thomas had been dealing with an ankle injury earlier this season that limited him for most of the first half of the season. He didn't play against Arkansas State, Tulsa and Cincinnati because of it. But on Saturday against UCF, he played 19 snaps and looked like himself, nearly coming up with a couple of big plays with three QB hurries.
