The Oklahoma Sooners got great news on Sunday evening with the return of David Stone. But that doesn’t mean Oklahoma’s fully satisfied at defensive tackle. Late last week, they were looking to bring in SEMO defensive tackle Jaylon Stone through the transfer portal.
According to George Stoia of SoonerScoop, the Sooners will be hosting another defensive tackle on Monday. Former Oklahoma State and Utah State defensive tackle Siolaa Lolohea will be in Norman for a visit. Lolohea was a three-star prospect out of Euless Trinity in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and spent his true freshman season with the Oklahoma State Cowboys. He also had offers from SMU and Texas Tech.
He spent the 2024 season with Utah State playing for new Sooners inside linebackers coach Nate Dreiling. Dreiling was the interim head coach and defensive coordinator with the Aggies last year. Under Dreiling, Lolohea recorded 10 total tackles in eight games and one tackle for loss. According to Pro Football Focus, Lolohea played 145 snaps on defense and recorded six total pressures, including a quarterback hurry.
He was listed at 6-foot-3 and 305 pounds on Utah State’s website for 2024, giving him the size to be a difference maker on the interior. He still has three years of eligibility remaining after redshirtting with the Cowboys in 2023.
