Oklahoma's offensive line took another hit on Wednesday, but it wasn't entirely unexpected.

Anton Harrison, the Sooners' starting left tackle for the last two seasons, announced via Twitter that he'll forego his senior year and declare for the NFL Draft.

The 6-foot-5, 315-pound Harrison, a junior from Washington, DC, was just named first-team All-Big 12 earlier in the day. His announcement comes literally minutes after right tackle Wanya Morris accepted an invitation to the Reese's Senior Bowl to begin his NFL journey.

According to Pro Football Focus, Harrison graded out 2022 as one of the Sooners’ top blockers. His run blocking grade of 68.9 percent ranked just fifth among OU front-line blockers (including tight ends), but his pass blocking grade of 82.1 leads the team.

In 446 pass blocks, Harrison allowed just one quarterback sack — the opponents’ only hit of the year on a quarterback against Harrison. He also yielded just nine QB hurries as he played left tackle on 803 total snaps.

At Archbishop Carroll High School in DC, Harrison was a 4-star prospect by 247 Sports, ESPN and Rivals and was an Under Armour All-American. ESPN ranked him as the No. 158 prospect in the nation, and Rivals ranked him as the No. 3 recruit in the DC area.

He chose OU over offers from Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Boston College and others.
