NORMAN, Okla. -- Wide receivers coach Jay Norvell weighed in Tuesday on his freshman receivers.

On Sterling Shepard: “Sterling has had a very good camp. He’s got really good quickness. He’s got good strength and he’s learning how to play against college corners, which is a challenge because they’re strong and physical. He’s learning how to find space in our offense and work with Landry. He’s had a good camp.”

On Durron Neal: “Durron Neal is strong and explosive for a freshmen football player. It’s the same thing, he’s learning how to be a receiver and run routes and get open and make plays consistently versus college cornerbacks. That’s not easy especially when we’ve got pretty good corners. He’s had a good camp.”

On Derrick Woods: “Derrick Woods has had some bumps and bruises and he’s fighting through that but he’s shown quickness, speed and playmaking abilities as well.”

And on Trey Metoyer: “He’s had a good camp but the challenge is to go out there every day and play at the highest level and to try and do all the little things better than everybody else. Until they do that, he ain’t ready. He’s just got to continue to push himself and that’s the challenge. That’s the challenge of training camp.”
