After Delarrin Turner-Yell suffered a broken collarbone before last season’s Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, Lincoln Riley announced at his press conference on Monday the sophomore will be limited in spring football.
Turner-Yell played a pivotal role for the Sooners defense last season. He finished his season with 75 total tackles, and started in every game for the Sooners.
Justin Broiles replaced Turner-Yell in the Peach Bowl, and LSU wide receiver Justin Jefferson took full advantage, scoring four touchdowns in the first half alone.
“He got hurt in practice,” Riley said following Turner-Yell’s injury in December of 2019. “Right now our expectation is that he will not play, but we’ll see how the week goes on.
The best game of the season for Turner-Yell came against Baylor in the Big 12 championship, when he recorded eight tackles, three of which were for a loss. The 2020-21 season will be Alex Grinch’s second year with Oklahoma.
The Sooners 2020 Spring Game will take place on April 18 at 5 p.m in Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, OK.
