NORMAN, Okla. — One of Oklahoma’s rising star defensive lineman was unexpectedly out against Oklahoma State in Bedlam on Saturday.
Redshirt freshman defensive lineman Jalen Redmond was absent from the Sooners’ warmups prior to the game. Oklahoma football did not make an announcement at the time on his absence.
Head coach Lincoln Riley announced on Monday that Redmond is “questionable” for the Sooners’ Big 12 Championship Game against Baylor.
“Medically, the only thing, Jalen Redmond didn’t travel with us the other night,” he said at his weekly press conference. “It’s a medical decision, totally unrelated to what he went through previously. So he is questionable for this week. That’s it.”
The rising defensive lineman made his second career start against TCU the week prior to Oklahoma State. Behind him is JUCO transfer LaRon Stokes, who has been a solid piece to Oklahoma’s defensive puzzle this season.
It is sure to be a game-time decision for Redmond.
Oklahoma and Baylor will kickoff the Big 12 Championship at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, at 11 a.m CT on FOX.
