As Nathan Rawlins-Kibonge’s virtual visit with OU wrapped up last spring, Sooners defensive coordinator Alex Grinch looked in the camera and delivered a blunt, confident prediction.
“You can look at all this and you can go somewhere else,” Grinch said. “But at the end of the day, you’re going to be sitting on the couch watching us play for a national championship.”
The Sooners had already made quite the impression on the highly recruited defensive end from Portland, from his long-established relationship with outside linebackers/defensive ends coach Jamar Cain to the personalized, all-out press the entire coaching staff put on him during the visit.
