Lincoln Riley specifically said he didn’t want headlines saying the Sooners were going to redshirt Caleb Kelly after Oklahoma football beat Iowa State 37-27 last Saturday, but it’s hard not to speculate on the coaching staff’s comments.
So here we are, writing headlines about Caleb Kelly redshirting.
The comments have left many around the Oklahoma program wondering about Kelly’s status. Is this a sign of a problem?
In a way, yes it is a problem, but it’s a good problem to have. After years of forcing true freshmen into service and scouring the junior college ranks for plug-and-play prospects to fill glaring holes at the position, the Sooners appear to have some real, tangible depth at linebacker.
