When OU players report today, two recruits will be absent.
Chris Patterson, a linebacker from Chicago Hubbard, and Brandon Braxton, an offensive tackle from Youngstown (Ohio) Ursuline, did not academcially qualify. OU coaches expect the other 15 newcomers to report.
Patterson is expected to enroll in junior college. Braxton fell just short on a correspondence course he took this summer. His plans are uncertain.
Braxton could attempt to achieve the qualifying score on the ACT test this fall, then enroll at OU in January. He could enroll in a prep school and attempt to raise his test score. Or he could enroll at a non-Big 12 school as a nonqualifier; in that event, Braxton would have to pay his own tuition and would be in eligible as a freshman.
Braxton, a 6-foot-6, 300-pounder, was not expected to play this season; he was probably headed for a redshirt.
