Kareem played in all 13 games as a reserve in 2017 (21 tackles, 5.5 for loss, three sacks) and then started all 13 games as a junior (42 tackles, 10.5 for loss, 4.5 sacks, five pass breakups).

Adeniji (pronounced uh-DEN-UH-gee) was an all-district player as a junior and senior at Garland High School in Texas.

Adeniji earned honorable mention All-Big 12 notice that year, as well as after his sophomore season, when he again started all 12 games (11 at left tackle, one at right tackle).

Bailey's senior season was short-circuited by a knee injury (14 tackles, two for loss, one sack in four starts).
