It had been rumored for a while, but it was just confirmed this afternoon that WR Jordan Smallwood has suffered an ACL injury which will cause him to miss a portion of the 2015-2016 season.

Smallwood's impact on the Sooner offense has been minimal to this point as he has just 3 catches for a total of 21 yards. He does however, have all the physical tools, but as of yet this hasn't translated to on the field success. This injury will no doubt set him back and make it difficult for him to be a major contributor for next season. We hope that he has a quick and speedy recover which allows him to reach all the potential that he has.
