Oklahoma center Kur Kuath has been granted a medical redshirt for last season, the program announced Monday.
Kuath played in six games for the Sooners in 2018-19 before he was shut down for the season after aggravating a stress fracture in his back. That year of eligibility has been restored, giving Kuath two remaining seasons of eligibility.
He'll enter the 2019-20 season as a redshirt junior.
Kuath, who transferred to OU from Salt Lake Community College in Utah, is expected to be a primary piece in coach Lon Kruger's rotation.
The 6-foot-10 center could find his way into the starting five against bigger opponents.
