Crimson Countdown: No. 58 Spencer Brown
2023 stats (at Michigan State): 11 starts at right tackle
2024 outlook: When the Sooners landed Brown in the transfer portal, many anticipated he would be the starter at right tackle in 2024. But the early reviews of Brown during spring practice weren’t as good as some had hoped. Still, Brown will have every opportunity to win that starting spot. He’s currently competing with Jake Taylor, who got most of the first team reps in the spring. And even if Brown doesn’t start, he does provide experience at a position where OU has to replace first-round draft pick Tyler Guyton.
2024 offensive tackle outlook
It’s no secret where the biggest concern is for Oklahoma in 2024 — offensive tackle. Replacing Tyler Guyton and Walter Rouse is no easy task. OU brought in transfer Michael Tarquin (USC) and Spencer Brown (Michigan State). Both have a chance to start next season, especially Tarquin at left tackle. Jacob Sexton is also expected to be in the mix, having played right tackle last season. But during the spring, Sexton also played guard. OU is hoping Jake Taylor can be a contributor at tackle in this third season, while redshirt freshman Logan Howland continues to progress in a backup role.
