Evaluation: Another dual-sport athlete, talented linebacker James Nesta comes to Norman with the intention to play football and baseball with the Sooners. On the football field, Nesta is a hard-hitting linebacker who flys around the field to make plays. Playing both on and off-ball linebacker in high school, Nesta showed his versatility to fill a variety of roles. At Oklahoma, Nesta will likely play more of an inside linebacker role due to his size. Additionally, Nesta has the speed to play sideline-to-sideline just like a typical Brent Venables linebacker.
