(9/1) Millington quits team, Several positions at DB undecided and much more.

Oklahoma Football Notes and Articles

Millington quits the team: Akim Millington, who had been slated to start at right tackle, has left the team. OU coach Bob Stoops confirmed the sophomore's departure Wednesday evening. Millington's reasons for quitting were unknown. Stoops did not elaborate. Millington, who is from Wheaton, Ill., played in five games last season. He ended preseason camp as the starter. But he did not practice Tuesday or Wednesday. In his absence, junior Chris Messner will move into the starting lineup. Messner, a 6-6, 280-pounder from Frederick, has played sparingly. But in recent days, Messner had shared time on the first team with Millington. Millington's departure most likely means true freshman Branndon Braxton will be asked to contribute in a larger role than earlier anticipated. Also, it's likely true freshman George "Duke" Robinson will play this season. Both players were listed as backups on the initial depth chart, which was released Monday. (NEWSOK.com)

Several positions at DB still undecided? OU co-defensive coordinator Bobby Jack Wright said Wednesday several secondary positions are still wide-open — "I may just flip a coin," he said. But one player has stood out. "The most solid guy has been D.J. Wolfe," Wright said of the converted tailback, who has grabbed a starting job. "Unless he were to have some kind of real breakdown, I don't see anybody catching him right now. His level of play is so much higher than the other guys’ right now. He just makes play after play after play." Wright suggested true freshman Reggie Smith was neck and neck with listed starter Lewis Baker at strong safety. (NEWSOK.com)
