The sophomore defensive end worked on his body this offseason to prepare for the physical grind of the SEC.
The 6-foot-4 defensive end said he’s up to around 260 pounds as fall camp wears on in Norman, and adding to his frame was a major goal this offseason.
The added weight should help Adebawore hold up in any situation as a sophomore, as he crucially said he hasn’t lost any of his burst off the line of scrimmage despite packing more of a punch. The former 5-star recruit knows he’ll have to challenge bigger offensive lineman every week in the Southeastern Conference, but he’s already feeling a difference in his game at practice.
Entering his second year in Brent Venables’ defense, Adebawore is further along grasping the mental side of OU’s complicated defense as well.
