Taylor Heim has waited his turn. The redshirt junior linebacker from Bethany High School in Oklahoma is entering his fourth year with the Sooners. And he's yet to play a meaningful role. But that is likely going to change in 2026, as Heim is expected to get snaps at cheetah and inside linebacker in Brent Venables' defense.
