OU’s Norwood happy to be healthy again

NORMAN — There were few OU players more excited to start the season than Tre Norwood.

“Just being out there and being able to contribute in any way possible, that was very exciting,” Norwood said.

The defensive back from Fort Smith, Arkansas, was expected to be a key piece for Alex Grinch’s defense a year ago.

But a torn ACL he suffered in preseason camp ended his season and what little depth OU had in the secondary was reduced even further.

Norwood returned last week against Missouri State in a reserve role, but his versatility figures to give him plenty of opportunities to contribute in 2020.
