Linebackers

Mike Stoops is the defensive coordinator but also the linebackers coach. All praise and hate for this unit falls solely on his shoulders. Luckily for him, he’s got a talented group returning.

Mark Jackson, Jr., Sam Linebacker | 83 OVR: After playing in 18 career games for the Sooners, Mark Jackson should assume a starting role as a junior in 2018.

*Kenneth Murray*, Mike Linebacker | 91 OVR: Kenneth Murray returns for his sophomore season and is poised to be one of the best linebackers in the conference. He started every game as a freshman and was named a co-Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year. Murray is our first *Impact Player*.

Caleb Kelly, Will Linebacker | 88 OVR: Caleb Kelly might be the most-seasoned player on the Oklahoma roster. Starting in 19 of his 25 career games, Kelly looks to up his production as a junior.

Key Reserves: Curtis Bolton (83), Bryan Mead (81)
