NORMAN — Frank Shannon spoke to reporters after practice Tuesday, his first media session since the University of Oklahoma suspended the linebacker for a year after a Title IX sexual misconduct investigation.

Media were told Shannon would only answer “football questions,” but he still fielded a few questions about his year off and how he feels to be back.
