NORMAN — Saturday, OU coach Lincoln Riley said none of his players had expressed a desire to opt out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns.
A day later, running back Kennedy Brooks decided to opt out, according to a report from The Athletic.
Brooks has run for 2,067 yards and 18 touchdowns over the last two seasons, topping the 1,000-yard mark each time.
Last year, he had 155 carries for 1,011 yards and six touchdowns. He was set to be a redshirt junior this year.
Brooks would be the latest college football player to opt out of playing this season, though the first with the Sooners.
