Oklahoma Pro Day, and OU Recruiting Class 2008
Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes
OU Pro Day, Peterson takes part in one drill: Seventeen National Football League teams were represented Tuesday at Oklahoma's annual Pro Day. Ten former Sooner players took part in the drills at the Everest Center. The players tested in seven areas ranging from jumping to speed to agility to strength. They also were put through drills specific to their position by scouts that were on hand for the event. RB Adrian Peterson took part in only one test, the 60-yard shuttle. He turned in a time of 11.78, the fastest among the five Sooners that participated in that particular test. Other bests included DB Jason Carter in the vertical jump (37-0), Paul Thompson in the broad jump (10-2), Carter and Thompson in the 40 (4.64), Thompson in the 20-yard shuttle (4.25), Carter and Thompson in the three-cone shuttle (7.02) and Rufus Alexander in the bench press (26 reps of 225 pounds).

Sooners quick to sign 2008 recruits: USA Today highlights the Sooners early commitments of 2008, a class whom OU has landed top prospects already.. Of Oklahoma's six commitments, four -- all from Texas -- are members of the Rivals100 to watch. The latest came Saturday afternoon from Van, Texas, running back Jermie Calhoun. The 6-foot, 210-pound running back from East Texas had scholarship offers from all over the country. Alabama, Florida, Kansas State, LSU, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, and Texas A&M were just a few of them. "I knew I had stuff ahead of me," Calhoun said. "I felt a lot of pressure from other schools and coaches trying to get in touch with me. I wanted to get it out of the way and focus on my schoolwork." Calhoun said his relationship with Oklahoma recruiter Cale Gundy and the rest of the staff in Norman was a big reason why he committed. (USAToday.com)
