Last week, a couple of the OU players singled out linebacker Franklin Shannon, safety Quentin Hayes and wide receiver Kameel Jackson as players who impressed in the bowl practices.
Tuesday, coach Bob Stoops brought up all three when asked if anyone had caught his eye the last couple of weeks.
“I think Franklin Shannon, a young linebacker we have been really impressed with,” Stoops answered. “Quentin Hayes in the secondary has really, I thought, shown a lot in the last several days -- or last few weeks. Kameel Jackson I think continues to really show, and hopefully he is going to play more, can really do some things in this game. Those are just a few that just pop out.”
Jackson is expected to start the Insight Bowl. Hayes will have a chance to play a significant role, too, as the Sooners attempt to reconfigure a secondary that was suspect at times this season.
