OU Defensive Coaches Pleased With Competition
Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes
Bobby Jack Wright happy with defensive talent: Bobby Jack Wright is pleased, especially with cornerback Brian Jackson. "We're pretty happy with where they're at," Wright said. "Brian Jackson has had his hands on a ton of balls in four days. Brian knows this is his big opportunity and he's making the most of it. "Same thing with Dominique Franks and Jonathan Nelson. Those three have had four great practices. We don't feel we're missing a beat." (The Oklahoman)
Recruiting Update; Sooner Connections: The Sooners have already benefited from a former player helping them land a verbal commitment in the 2009 recruiting class. Mansfield (Texas) Legacy High School defensive end Terry Franklin committed to OU, following in the footsteps of his high school coach and former Sooner quarterback Chris Melson. OU could be hoping a second Sooner connection will pay off in another 2009 commitment. Plano (Texas) wide receiver Kris Lott, the son of former OU wishbone quarterback Thomas Lott, is interested in the Sooners along with Plano RB Rex Burkhead and QB Carson Meger, their high school coach Jaydon McCullough said.

Carl Albert's Daytawion Lowe receives OU offer: Carl Albert safety Daytawion Lowe has received offers from Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Baylor, Texas Tech, Missouri and others. "OSU is No. 1 right now,” Lowe said. "OU is No. 2 then Texas Tech.” OU was the most recent offer for the junior, who has led the Titans in tackles the past two seasons. "I was pretty excited,” Lowe said of the OU offer. Often overlooked because he plays on the same team as standout running back David Oku, Lowe has seen his recruiting pick up since signing day in February. (The Oklahoman)
