07/28/22 - DE Ethan Downs, Sr/2025, Oklahoma

In his first season in Norman, Ethan Downs appeared in all 13 games, with 14 tackles, three for loss, and a forced fumble. It wasn't a bad start to his Sooners career at all, but most everyone associated with OU football is expecting much more out of him as a sophomore - including Downs. "I feel more dangerous this year," Downs said. "I feel capable of making an impact." That's a big reason why Downs was one of two defensive players chosen by Venables to represent OU recently at Big 12 Media Days. Downs was one of just two sophomores to take part in the event. Downs was the first sophomore to represent the Sooners at the event since linebacker Kenneth Murray in 2018.

"It's about the work they put in, the consistency of the last seven months," Venables said of why he chose Downs. "It's about the buy-in, the buy-in to the culture, the work they put in, the leadership. It's about how you play. I bet you there's not any third-team guys here right, right? It's earning the right to be here...He's earned that opportunity." Downs has embraced his newfound role among the Sooners' defensive leaders. "I've grown a lot," he said. "I've gained a lot of experience, I have more clarity of mind, I have more confidence in my actions, and that's what's enabled me to take a leadership role - not the leadership role, but a leadership role amongst my peers to hold people accountable to the standard." - Daily Oklahoman
