Linebacker Kip Lewis Declares the Sooners’ D Is Just Getting Started
Since Brent Venables arrived in Norman in 2022, Oklahoma’s defense has steadily evolved from a porous liability to a conference powerhouse. Freshman LB Kip Lewis watched OU surrender 30 points per game in Venables’ first year but has since grown into a defensive lynchpin. After registering 66 tackles in 2023 and anchoring a stout unit that allowed just 21.5 points per game in 2024, Lewis exploded in 2025 with 76 tackles, 10.5 TFLs, four sacks and four pass breakups. With several stars departing for the NFL and transfers filling key roles, Lewis believes the revamped 2026 defense will mesh quickly and deliver another leap forward under Venables’ watch.
Breaking news: swapping out a few jerseys and learning some new names apparently revolutionizes college football defenses. Who knew that recruiting, coaching continuity and the old “talent plus experience” recipe could yield points-per-game improvements? Sources confirm Kip Lewis has secretly hired a wizard to hex opposing quarterbacks, because bread-and-butter schemes just weren’t cutting it. As Sooners fans brace for another year of turnover, rest assured the only thing falling faster than opposing offenses will be their collective jaws.
