Sooners DL signs deal with Seattle Seahawks

The Oklahoma Sooners had seven players chosen in the 2026 NFL Draft, the deepest OU draft class of the Brent Venables era. However, there are a number of other former Sooners who are finding their NFL homes, despite not being selected.

One such player is defensive lineman Marvin Jones Jr., who has signed a contract with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent. Jones played at both Georgia and Florida State, before transferring to Oklahoma for his final collegiate season. He started nine games at defensive end as a senior in 2025, registering 21 total tackles, five TFLS, and two sacks, and he gave OU another pass-rushing option off the edge.

Oklahoma's defensive front was the strength of the entire team last year, and Jones was certainly part of that, helping the Sooners have one of the best defensive lines in the entire country. His veteran presence and SEC experience were key to his contributions up front during his one year in Norman.

Jones now heads to Seattle to join the defending champions. He'll look to make a good impression, and try to give himself a chance to make the roster with the Seahawks.
