The Football Brainiacs

– Summer Workouts: The players are back on campus and with their return, summer workouts have commenced. The team held their first 7-on-7 session yesterday and while most of the newcomers are still going through the process of getting cleared by the medical staff, one true freshman, DE/OLB Mark Jackson, was able to take part. Considering how much OU lost in terms of their pass rush and at LB, the hope is that Jackson can come in and have an immediate impact.

As you would expect, Jackson’s first day was more about getting his feet wet (so to speak) and learning the calls. Though we were told Jackson showed up in exceptional shape and clearly put in considerable work since the spring. And there is every reason to believe he will only continue to get bigger and stronger as he spends the summer with Schmitty. – (Super K)

– Creed Humphrey Returns: Brandon was out at OU’s ‘elite’ camp on Wednesday and passed along that that 2017 OL Creed Humphrey (Shawnee, OK) was in attendance. As we mentioned in yesterday’s Open Post, Humphrey is nearing a decision and will visit Texas A&M this weekend.

Humphrey making a second visit to Norman in such a short time would seem like a good thing and can only help continue to strengthen his relationship with the OU staff. – (Super K)
