The Oklahoma Sooners will have plenty to do when the 2025 offseason officially kicks off in a few weeks. They have lost a ton of players, some really good ones, too. And, while most of them feel like they are on the offensive side of the ball, the defense has lost some guys and could use some help as well.
The Sooners have lost quite a few defensive backs, some linebackers, and a few defensive tackles, whether it be to the transfer portal, the draft, or just graduation. The Sooners have a lot of spots to fill, even with the 2025 class they have coming in.
Thankfully, this transfer portal class has a ton of talent that the Sooners can attack. And, they have done that already and even offered a scholarship to a defensive tackle.
Oklahoma Sooners offer LA Tech DT David Blay
According to the player himself via Twitter/X, the Sooners have offered former Louisiana Tech defensive tackle David Blay a scholarship.
Blay, who is entering the portal with one year of eligibility left, stands at 6’4″ and weighs 303 pounds, which gives him the size necessary for playing on the defensive line at the Power Five level. However, it’s the skill and technique that makes the difference.
He started and played in all 12 games at defensive tackle for Louisiana Tech in the 2024 season. Blay led the Bulldogs’ defensive line with 46 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, and 6.5 sacks in 2024, which was a breakout season for him. According to Pro Football Focus, he ranked 12th among college football defensive tackles in the “stops” metric. He can ball, to say the least.
