One of the best things about college football is the turnover of players. While it's a bummer to lose a player like Sam Bradford or Adrian Peterson, the flip side is...the anticipation and speculate about who might take their place and be the next "great one." Last year it was Samaje Perine. This year, maybe Joe Mixon, Dede Westbrook or Mark Andrews. Or conversely, who might be the next projected great one to disappoint, like Brent Rawls, Brandon Williams or R.J. Washington.
In an attempt to help you get to know some of the players on the 2015 Oklahoma Sooners roster, The OAS thought he'd have a little harmless fun with names and name association. I mean, hell, if Buddy Putty can't poke a little fun at a moniker, then I might as well revert to my given birth name, which come to think of it, isn't great either. The only people to address me as Weldon Putty is Discover Card: "This message is for Weldon Pooty?" Oh, that's better.
