Oklahoma Football Hot Links: Kyler Murray trending in the right direction, Sooners pick up 2021 commit, and more!

Happy Thursday, friends and fans!

Following Wednesday’s practice, Lincoln Riley explained why senior LB Mark Jackson hasn’t had much playing time this season after making 28 appearances and seven starts in his career. Apparently, the Cibolo, Texas native was in the doghouse for undisclosed reasons, and that’s primarily why others have taken the field ahead of him through five games.

Fortunately for Jackson, he’s now back in the good graces of his coaches. OU Insider’s Joey Helmer shares insight from the Oklahoma Sooners head coach.

If it’s part of a long term plan, Jackson could end up redshirting in 2019 to maintain a year of eligibility for 2020.
