NORMAN — Two freshmen will redshirt for the Sooners this season, Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger told media members Monday afternoon.
Forward Anyang Garang and center Rick Issanza will both redshirt this year. Kruger first announced the redshirts earlier Monday on Toby Rowland's show on Sports Talk 1400.
"We are going to redshirt Anyang Garang. He came here with that expectation that he needed more time. He has a great upside. He's a great kid and we're truly excited about his future," Kruger said. "And then because of Rick (Issanza), the 7-footer has been nagged with injury, he hasn't been able to get out there much so he decided to redshirt just yesterday.
