In a mere eight days, we’ll finally be watching the 2018 Oklahoma Sooners! That’s just one week and a wake up, folks! For today’s Countdown to Kickoff episode, I’m going to highlight a trio of offensive skill players that each sported the number 8. I’m talking about quarterback Darrell Shepard, running back Dominique Whaley and receiver Jalen Saunders.
Kicking things off with the QB of the group, Darrell Shepard is the second of the Shepard family to play at Oklahoma. His older brother, Woodie, played before him, and his younger brother Derrick followed years later.
