The Oklahoma Sooners’ thin depth at running back apparently got event lighter on Thursday. According to multiple reports (including one from the OU Daily), sophomore Tre Bradford and the Sooners have gone their separate ways.
Bradford’s short time with the team came to abrupt end after he transferred from LSU to OU in the spring. The Daily reported he missed multiple practices this week before departing.
Major attrition at running back had put Bradford in position to contribute with the Sooners right away. Five other scholarship running backs have left the team since the end of the 2020 season:
- Rhamondre Stevenson was drafted by the New England Patriots;
- TJ Pledger transferred to Utah;
- Marcus Major was declared academically ineligible; and
- Coach Lincoln Riley dismissed Seth McGowan and Mikey Henderson in connection with charges they allegedly participated in an armed robbery.
