With another year under his belt, Zack Sanchez should be able to lead the Oklahoma secondary with more consistency. He has all the physical tools to play at an elite level, but at times can bust coverages with the best of them.

There are a number of question marks in the defensive backfield for OU, one of which may have to be filled by the number eight incoming safety in the country in Will Sunderland. Unfortunately for the Sooners, Stoops still has to find somebody to play opposite Sanchez, to solidify the other safety position if Sunderland needs to develop, and there is always the need for depth in the secondary in the Big 12.
