The Crimson Countdown is officially on for the 2024 Oklahoma football season. Fans have been waiting for what feels like forever with this one. The Sooners are finally and officially joining the SEC.

The 2023 season was a rebound one for head coach Brent Venables, getting the program back to its standard. OU went 10-3 in Venables’ second season, now it’s time for year No. 3.

Every day as we get closer to kickoff, SoonerScoop.com will count down the days with you. Starting with No. 99 and working our way to No. 0, we’ll be there every step of the way.

Crimson Countdown: No. 90 Caiden Woullard

2023 stats (at Miami Ohio): 41 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks

2024 outlook: Woullard has the chance to be a key contributor for the Sooners in 2024. The 6-foot-5, 252-pound defensive was one of the best edges in the winter portal. He was very productive at Miami Ohio, totaling 9.5 sacks and 12 tackles for loss.

While Woullard enters a talented defensive end room, he will be one of the more experienced players on the edge for OU. His veteran leadership was something that was attractive to Oklahoma. Woullard likely won’t be an All-American for the Sooners but he’s sure to be a nice pickup in the portal as he looks to replace Rondell Bothroyd.

2024 defensive end outlook

OU has a good mix of experience and talent at the defensive end position in 2024. The old guys for the Sooners are Ethan Downs, Trace Ford and Miami Ohio transfer Caiden Woullard. Downs is the unquestioned leader of the group, entering his fourth and final season for OU. But OU does have a host of young guys looking to contribute and possibly start. R Mason Thomas and PJ Adebawore both feel like players who could have breakout seasons in Norman. And freshmen Nigel Smith and Danny Okoye are hoping to find some sort of role in 2024.
