Kid was awesome on the field and had a high football IQ. He really did a great job of coming back from multiple injuries to reclaim his starting spot. Sad day for the Sooner Family.

Thought's and Prayers go out to his family.

His old HS coach's son and former teammate lives in El Reno now and it was his house where it happened.
