NORMAN — An interesting name appeared recently on the online Oklahoma football roster: Cole Swayze.
You might remember Swayze from his days as a Purcell Dragon quarterback. He picked up a scholarship offer from Oklahoma State his sophomore year, but tore an ACL, costing him his junior season.
He broke his foot as a senior and never received any other football scholarship offers. He chose instead to pursue a college track career, signing with Oklahoma Baptist. He ended his high school career with two gold medals, a silver and a bronze at the 2012 Class 4A state track meet.
