The Oklahoma Sooners keep stacking wins with players returning for next season, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. Defensive tackle Damonic Williams announced his return for 2025 yesterday.

With the many holes on the roster after a bad 6-7 season, the Sooners should once again be very good at defensive tackle. It’s one of the most important positions to have talent and depth in the SEC. Oklahoma will be leaning on the big guys once again as they try to bounce back in 2025.

The Oklahoma Sooners defense will return another cornerstone piece for 2025 as safety Robert Spears-Jennings announced his return for 2025 on social media. Spears-Jennings was a part of Oklahoma's dynamic safety room.

Damonic Williams was a standout in his first season in Norman, logging 35 tackles on the Sooners' defensive line.

Williams was a big reason why the Oklahoma Sooner’s defense became one of the best-run defenses in the nation in 2024. With his return, the Sooners defensive tackle rotation continues to be a strength of the team with Williams, Gracen Halton, and Jayden Jackson. Former five-star prospect David Stone will take on a bigger role next year.

After transferring from TCU, Damonic Williams was OU's most-used interior defensive lineman in 2024. Williams announced Monday he would return in 2025.
