Oklahoma adds defensive lineman Danny Saili to roster ahead of season opener

The Oklahoma Sooners added defensive lineman Danny Saili to their official roster ahead of the team's season-opening game against UTEP on Friday. Despite his addition, Saili is currently ineligible to play due to an ongoing legal situation regarding college eligibility. A Colorado 10th Circuit Court of Appeals decision recently stayed a ruling that would have granted him a fifth season of college football. Brent Venables confirmed that Saili is participating in team practices while his eligibility remains under review. The 6-foot-1, 280-pound lineman joined the program after previous stints at Hutchinson Community College, BYU, and Arkansas. He provides depth at the defensive tackle position for Oklahoma, though he is barred from participating in gameday competition until the legal status of his eligibility is resolved.
