NORMAN, Okla. -- Dominique Whaley barely participated in Saturday’s scrimmage, the first of the preseason for the Sooners. But that doesn’t mean Bob Stoops hasn’t liked what he’s seen from the former walk-on running back.
“Dominique Whaley has looked really good,” Stoops said. “He didn’t get a lot in the scrimmages intentionally, but in our inside drills and other sessions where we are going hard, he really looks to be pretty close to where he was.”
Whaley, who is coming back from a broken ankle, said earlier in the month he feels 100 percent. Those around him are beginning to feel the same way.
“It’s always hard to say is he fully back,” Stoops said. “But he hasn’t had any setbacks whatsoever and he’s closer and closer – so that’s really positive.”
