NORMAN — Ryan Peoples scheduled a tryout with OU just before spring football. The former Norman North quarterback thought it went well, but the first day of practice brought unexpected news.
“Yeah, you’ll be with the DBs,” Peoples remembers being told.
From quarterback to cornerback, Peoples is the latest Norman North Timberwolf to join the Oklahoma roster as a walk-on. Although Peoples will be playing a new position, fellow Norman North walk-ons Nick Basquine and Drake Stoops have set a precedent for hometown success at the next level.
Basquine, a senior, has 27 career receptions and two touchdowns.
