The 6-foot-1, 215-pound fifth-year senior from San Antonio started 15 games for the Sooners and two bowl games. One of those bowls was the best game of his college career as he went 32-for-44 with 348 yards, 4 TD and an INT in Oklahoma’s 45-31 win over Alabama in the Sugar Bowl back in the 2013 season.
He’ll have one of the deepest receiving corps in the SEC at his disposal this fall, including standouts Christian Kirk and Josh Reynolds.
