Oklahoma Earlier The defensive interior was one of the strengths of the roster in 2024. Damonic Williams, Da’Jon Terry, Gracen Halton and Jayden Jackson formed a strong rotation that helped the Sooners become one of the best run defenses of the country this season.
With Terry’s departure to the NFL, the Sooners are looking to bolster their rotation and have issued an offer to transfer portal defensive lineman David Blay. Blay posted that Oklahoma was offering on.
Blay led the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs with 6.5 sacks and 11 tackles for loss in 2024. He also had 46 total tackles for a defense that finished 20th in the nation in scoring. According to Pro Football Focus, Blay was 12th among defensive tackles in college football in PFF’s “stops” metric.
Against Arkansas, Blay recorded six total tackles, two tackles for loss and one sack. In Week 2 against North Carolina State, the talented defensive tackle made two total tackles and one tackle for loss.
At 6-foot-4, 303 pounds, Blay has the size to play inside for an SEC defense and would be a solid addition to the Sooners’ defensive tackle rotation.
