NORMAN — The highlight of Jalen Redmond’s Sunday came well before any of his three tackles in Oklahoma’s 49-31 win over Houston.
“Going through the warmups, it was, ‘Wow,’” Redmond said. “Walking out there — I can play this time. I’m not walking out there in just a jersey standing on the sidelines. That was a big moment.”
Two instances of blood clots cut short Redmond’s freshman season, leaving him questioning whether or not his college football career was finished.
The initial diagnosis was devastating, with Redmon thinking his playing career was done, before being energized when he found out he could return.
