Oklahoma has suffered a major injury after the first few days of fall camp.
Redshirt senior linebacker Caleb Kelly came to the Sooners with a lot of hype out of Fresno, California. Kelly blossomed his freshman year and finished it with a big performance against Auburn in the 2016 Sugar Bowl.
Since, things haven’t gone his way.
After a step back his sophomore year, former defensive coordinator Mike Stoops moved him to inside linebacker, where he ended up losing his starting role. Kelly suffered an almost season-ending injury in the spring of 2019 and played just four games in the fall.
He seemed prime for a big last year, but Kelly has reportedly been injured again during 2020 fall camp.
SoonerScoop can confirm that Caleb Kelly has suffered a knee injury. Tests on the field indicated it was a likely a torn ACL.

The redshirt senior has recorded 160 tackles in four years with 11 tackles for loss and five sacks. In 2018, Kelly was one of 11 FBS players named to Allstate AFCA Good Works Team for contributions to the community and world at large.
Brian Asamoah was in a battle with Kelly and DaShaun White to make the starting linebacker group. He played meaningful snaps in the 2019 season.
