Though linebacker Curtis Bolton wasn’t a starter, his injury creates a couple problems for OU.
Bolton was one of the more versatile players in the group and was used in a couple of different spots during preseason camp when other players were injured.
Now, OU is down to four true scholarship linebackers. Ricky DeBerry, who hasn’t played this season, was moved from linebacker to H-back.
Redshirt freshman Jon-Michael Terry figures to get more playing time with Bolton’s injury, and he’s listed behind Kenneth Murray at middle linebacker. Mark Jackson, a defensive end, is Ogbonnia Okoronkwo’s backup at jack and Caleb Kelly’s backup at strongside linebacker.
