Sooners gamble on locker room solution to fix lingering offensive line issues

The Oklahoma Sooners aren't just looking in the Transfer Portal for more depth along the offensive line, but even in their own locker room.

OU redshirt freshman Ace Hodges revealed with a post on X on Saturday that he's switching across the trenches from defensive tackle to center for the 2026 season as the Sooners have been trying to add depth along the offensive front.

This won't be a blow for the Sooners on the defensive side of the ball considering how deep they are at defensive tackle and that Hodges never actually made an impact there anyway.
