DT Da’Jon Terry is sitting out today. Probably nothing there other than rest. Seniors at this stage of their career — a la Woodi Washington, Ryan tells me — don’t need to prove anything today.

Circling back to Jake Roberts for a moment. He hadn’t been a participant in the practice sessions that have been opened up to the media this spring, but the cast on his lower right leg is new. Previously he had been held off to the side and was in tennis shoes.

OT Daniel Akinkunmi has also missed most of spring with a right ankle/foot injury. He’s also cruising around Owen Field on the injury scooter.

So no Thompson, no Farooq. Also no Nic Anderson and Andrel Anthony, as expected.

Does that mean no big plays today?

WR Jalil Farooq is also among the walking wounded and on a scooter. He’s been out most of the spring with an ankle/foot injury as well.

Also not dressed today is TE Jake Roberts. He’s got a soft wrap on his right foot/ankle and is motoring around on a scooter.

2:00 p.m.

As expected, WR Brenan Thompson is not suited up and won’t play today. As not expected, cornerback Woodi Washington isn’t dressed out and also has the day off.

No real shock but wide receiver Nic Anderson is in street clothes. He’s not participated at the practices that have been opened up to the media. Jalil Farooq obviously won’t play a role today, either. Should clear the way for a lot of Deion Burks and Jayden Gibson early. Oklahoma isn’t short on wide receiver talent, a credit to the work of Emmett Jones.

Pregame activities are progressing and the sea of humanity — more than 100 recruits and transfer portal prospects — has arrived and are standing in the southeast corner of Owen Field. If the Sooners land just 10 percent of those guys over the 2025, 2026 and 2027 classes (there’s even a couple 2028s here), then today is a huge success.
