Oklahoma defensive lineman R Mason Thomas was recognized as the 2nd most dominant defender of the week by Dusty Dvoracek.
Oklahoma went up against Auburn this past week in a showdown of ranked teams. While many thought the battle between former Oklahoma quarterback Jackson Arnold and current Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer would be the story of the game, it was actually Oklahoma’s defense that stole the show, and Thomas was a huge part of that.
Thomas has 4 solo tackles and 2 sacks in Oklahoma’s win against Auburn. He was also able to earn 2 points for the Sooners as he was able to get a safety against the Tigers.
Thomas is having a solid start to his season. In the 3 games in which Thomas has played, he’s totaled 7 total tackles, 6 of them solo tackles, 2 sacks, and 1 pass defended. He currently ranks 3rd on Oklahoma in sacks and is tied at 15th for total tackles.
The Oklahoma defense is still in search of its first takeaway of the season. The Sooners are the only FBS team that does not have an interception or a fumble recovery. However, if Thomas plays like he did against Auburn every game, they won’t need too many takeaways.
