OU football notebook: Sooners add walk-on quarterback

With Baker Mayfield and Cody Thomas dealing with some shoulder soreness during the summer, it was a welcome addition both for the quarterbacks and the wide receivers when OU added a pair of walk-ons at the position last month.

Former Heritage Hall quarterback Connor McGinnis was expected but the Sooners also added Reece Clark of Cypress (Texas) Woods.

Clark initially said he would head to Baylor as a preferred walk-on but wound up in Norman instead.

OU offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley said Clark reached out to OU coaches, who then evaluated the 6-foot-4 quarterback and asked him to walk on.
