The Sooners have lots of young talent along the defensive line and will only lose Charles Tapper after next season (barring an early draft declaration or if someone leaves the program). Couple that with a small class and the Sooners are probably looking at most 3 total players on the defensive line for the class of 2016. Here is a look at who the Sooners have offered along the defensive front for the class of 2016.
DEFENSIVE ENDS
1. McTelvin Agim 6-2/256 from Hope, Arkansas
OFFERS: Bama, Ark, Auburn, Baylor, Clemson, LSU, Ole Miss, Miss. St., Notre Dame, Stanford, TCU, Texas, Texas A&M, and the Sooners. It will be hard to seeing him anywhere other than with the Hogs, especially after Montgomery's departure to the NFL .

2. Amani Bledsoe 6-5/265 from Lawrence, KS
OFFERS: Ark, FSU, Kansas, Kansas St., Mizzou, Nebraska, NC State, Notre Dame, Ohio State, OKState, Oregon, Penn St., TCU, TTech, UCLA, and the Sooners. I expect Bledsoe to be a Sooner on National Signing Day in 2016

3. Isaiah Chambers 6-4/237 from Houston, TX.
Offers: ASU, Ark, Baylor, Cal, FSU, Kansas St., Houston, Kentucky, Miami, Michigan, Michigan St., Ole Miss, Miss. St., Mizzou, North Texas, OKState, Oregon, SMU, TCU, Texas A&M, Washington, and the Sooners. I expect the Sooners to be in this race for a long time, but in the end this an Aggie/Frog battle.

OFFERS: Ark, Auburn, Baylor, Colorado, Duke, Houston, Michigan, Ole Miss, Notre Dame, Ohio St., TCU, Texas, Texas A&M, Tulsa, Vandy, and the Sooners. This is probably a Horn/Aggie battle.

5. Brandon Bowen 6-5/230 from Trophy Club, TX.
OFFERS: ASU, Ark, Baylor, Michigan, Minnesota, Ole Miss, North Texas, SMU, TCU, Texas, TTech, and the Sooners. Now real idea on Bowen, but Baylor probably is the team to beat.

DEFENSIVE TACKLES
1. Kendell Jones 6-5/310 from Killeen, TX.
OFFERS: Ark, Baylor, Houston, LSU, Miami, Texas, Texas A&M, and the Sooners. Jones is an immense talent but is probably a Horn.

2. Chris Daniels 6-4/300 from Euless, TX.
OFFERS: Baylor, Kansas, Miami, Michigan, Ole Miss, Nebraska, Ohio St., OKState, SMU, TCU, Texas A&M, TTech, USC, Utah, Washington, and the the Sooners. This should be a Frog/Sooner battle with OU having every chance to sign Daniels.

OFFERS: Bama, Baylor, Cal, UF, FSU, Houston, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Ole Miss, Miss. St., Mizzou, Notre Dame, OKState, Oregon, TCU, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M, USC, Washington, and the Sooners. Elliot just recently decommitted from Baylor. Not sure where things stand with him at this moment.

OFFERS: ASU, Baylor, Boston College, Houston, Illinois, Kansas St., Miami, Michigan, Ole Miss, Mizzou, Nebraska, Ohio St., OKState, Penn. St., Pitt, SMU, TCU, Texas, TTech, Tulsa, UCLA, Virginia, and the Sooners. I believe that Mike Williams will be a Sooners.
