Andrew Raym officially declares for NFL draft
As expected, Oklahoma center Andrew Raym has announced that he's entering the NFL draft, and will not play in the Sooners' bowl game Dec. 28.
Raym, a redshirt junior who made 29 career starts across three season for Oklahoma, had an additional year of eligibility remaining. However, he'll forgo that year for a shot at his NFL dreams.
The 6-foot-4, 305-pound lineman signed as a four-star recruit in the class of 2020 out of Broken Arrow, Okla. He had major shoes to fill after the departure of Oklahoma great and current Kansas City Chiefs mainstay Creed Humphrey, but he held his own, earning All-Big 12 honorable mention in 2022 and a spot on the all-conference second team in 2023.
Raym is the first Sooner to officially announce his intentions to enter the draft. It's been reported that junior linebacker Danny Stutsman will forgo his final year of eligibility for the NFL as well, but Stutsman hasn't made an announcement. Other Sooners that are expected to declare include cornerback Woodi Washington and offensive tackle Tyler Guyton.
