Fasusi was the No. 1 signee in the Sooners' 2025 class as the the top offensive tackle in the class and No. 5 overall recruit, according to the 247Sports Composite. Now, Fasusi is battling for a starting spot on the Sooners' offensive line as a true freshman, and at the very least will still be in the rotation.

Ronnie Perkins' NFL second chance
The Atlanta Falcons signed former OU defensive end Ronnie Perkins for his second chance at sticking in the NFL.
Thanks to injuries, Perkins has bounced between practice squads since being drafted in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft and most recently played with the UFL's Birmingham Stallions earlier this year. Hopefully, Perkins can stay healthy and get a footing in the NFL this time.
The Falcons’ final preseason game will be against the Dallas Cowboys on Friday.
