Oklahoma center Andrew Raym will declare for the NFL draft, he announced on Saturday.

Raym, a senior, appeared in 22 games in four seasons. He was awarded an All-Big 12 Second Team selection this season. 

Without Raym, the Sooners will be shorthanded at center in 2024 and it remains to be seen if he'll play in the Alamo Bowl against Arizona on Dec. 28.

They'll likely rely on Troy Everett, who transferred from Appalachian State and played in eight games for OU in 2023, at center.

Raym, a former four-star recruit from Broken Arrow, has made an impact with his leadership in Norman the last four seasons.
