NORMAN — Dillon Faamatau likes candy.
“Crunch bars, Hershey’s Snickers, Three Musketeers,” the Oklahoma redshirt senior defensive lineman said. “I’m a chocolate guy.”
But Faamatau had to give up sweets, juices and another of his favorite dietary staples — cheeseburgers — over the offseason as he molded his body to fit into new defensive coordinator Alex Grinch’s “Speed D” that calls for lighter, more nimble defensive linemen.
“I had to make sure I fit the part for this season,” Faamatau said.
Perhaps nowhere is the Grinch overhaul more noticeable than on the interior of the defensive line, where Faamatau and Neville Gallimore have dropped significant weight since last spring.
