•Recruiting ranking: The No. 7-ranked offensive tackle in the nation, according to Rivals.com.
•The skinny: If you find yourself in Good's way, good luck. Good displays tremendous power in both run and pass blocking and knows how to drive a defender into the ground. He doesn't appear to have any lingering effects from a shoulder injury he suffered last spring, picking up right where he left off in his return for Paris' final two games of the season. Good is trim and athletic.
•What you didn't know: Despite always being taller than the other kids, Good didn't start for his junior high football team. He really didn't blossom as a football player until his sophomore year, although the high school coaches say they knew he was going to be something special based on the size of his dad and his older brother.
Good also uses his athleticism for something other than football. He's a member of the school's cheer team, where he's in charge of throwing and catching cheerleaders.

Stephen should prove to be a valuable member to the Sooners already powerful and talented offensive line. Not to mention the Sooners line is already young (no seniors, two juniors this season).
