Transcript
00:00 How's it going everybody?
00:01 Randall Sweet, All Sooners.com,
00:03 here to talk more about OU's 2024 recruiting class.
00:07 Now I'm gonna talk about Joshua Isosa,
00:09 talented three-star offensive lineman
00:11 from Edmond Santa Fe High School.
00:13 Obviously Edmond Santa Fe in Edmond, Oklahoma,
00:15 just about 45 minutes from Norman.
00:17 So Isosa himself is another local kid.
00:20 We've seen Brent Venables and company really prioritize
00:23 locking down the in-state recruiting
00:24 in this 2024 and 2025 class.
00:27 Isosa himself, again, three-star offensive lineman,
00:30 is another example of that.
00:31 And again, six foot three, 305 pounds,
00:34 Isosa's got a good size for an interior guy
00:36 coming out of high school.
00:38 I think he played a lot of tackle at Edmond Santa Fe,
00:41 but again, given his skillset, I think that he,
00:44 and again, I think he said this,
00:45 plans to move to the interior once he gets to college,
00:48 plans to play guard probably at the next level,
00:51 which he has said.
00:52 And again, he's a guy with a wrestling background,
00:55 so he plays with a lot of leverage, a lot of physicality,
00:57 knows how to kind of push and pull guys around,
00:59 which really lends itself well to him playing
01:01 on the interior rather than playing out as a tackle.
01:05 And again, he plays with really good play strength
01:08 at the point of attack.
01:10 His arms aren't as long as a guy like Isaiah Autry
01:12 as Daniel Akinkumi.
01:13 So I think that all of those things kind of make sense
01:17 when you learn that he's gonna play on the interior
01:20 in college, all those things kind of add together
01:22 to make him a good guard at the next level.
01:24 But I think that he's a guy that's really excited
01:27 to be in Norman.
01:28 I think that he's a guy that Bill Biedenbo can get
01:30 the best out of, and we've seen him do that time
01:32 and time again with offensive linemen
01:33 that have a similar skillset and athletic profile
01:36 to Josh Isosa.
