Welcome back to another installment in our 2021 Countdown to Kickoff! In 95 days, the Oklahoma Sooners will open the upcoming college football season in New Orleans against the Tulane Green Wave. Speaking of 95, the player who currently rocks said number has developed into quite the difference maker. I’m talking redshirt senior defensive end Isaiah Thomas.
Coming out of Memorial High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Thomas signed with Oklahoma as a four-star prospect in the recruiting class of 2017. After redshirting his first year on campus, he saw his playing time increase gradually over the course of the next two seasons.
