NORMAN — Oklahoma officially named Bennie Wylie as the Sooners’ new director of sports performance for football Tuesday.
The move is pending approval by the OU Board of Regents.
Wylie has spent time as the strength and conditioning coach at Texas, Tennessee and Texas Tech, also spending four years with the Dallas Cowboys.
The native of Mexia, Texas, was most recently doing private group training in Abilene, Texas.
During his time with the Cowboys, Wylie worked to rehabilitate injured players under former OU strength and conditioning coach Joe Juraszek.
“There’s nobody in this business I respect more than Bennie Wylie,” Sooners coach Lincoln Riley said in a release.
