Happy Tuesday, friends and fans!
In some rather unfortunate news, Sooner Scoop’s Carey Murdock has reported that Oklahoma Sooners redshirt sophomore running back Marcus Major has been ruled academically ineligible for the 2021 college football season.
RB Marcus Major will not be eligible to play this season for the #Sooners sources tell our @CareyAMurdock. Sources telling us it is an academic issue.

Major, an Oklahoma City product out of Millwood HS, was expected to take on an increased role in OU’s backfield this fall, and was likely the third RB on the depth chart going into the 2021 campaign.
