Texas QB commits to Sooners

NORMAN —  

Oklahoma has its quarterback for the 2012 recruiting class. San Antonio (Texas) Reagan High School signal caller Trevor Knight announced his commitment to the Sooners late Wednesday night on his Facebook page.

 

“I have committed to play football For the University of Oklahoma! BOOMER SOONER!” Knight wrote.

 

Knight, 6-2, 190 pounds, is the 11th player to give his non-binding verbal pledge to OU. 

 

Rivals.com has pegged Knight as a four-star recruit and the fifth best dual-threat quarterback in the class of 2012. Knight is ranked as the No. 28 player in Texas by Rivals.com.

 

This is the second time Knight has given his verbal pledge to a school. Knight committed to Texas A&M in March and was also considering LSU, Oklahoma State, Clemson and TCU. 

 

 

Meet the Sooners slated for Aug. 6

 

Oklahoma announced Thursday its annual Meet the Sooners Day autograph session will be held Aug. 6, at the practice fields near Owen Field. The event is moving from the rugby fields, which was the site in recent years.

 

Because the event falls on a Saturday, a factor that was influenced by summer school dates, the autograph session will be restricted to children ages 14 and younger. Each child may be accompanied by a maximum of one adult, but adults will not be permitted to submit items for autographs. Each child may bring a maximum of one item to be signed.

 

As has been the case for several years, members of the OG&E Sooners Kids Club will have priority as the lines are formed. At 7 a.m., Gate 7 of the stadium will open with two lines forming, one for the Kids Club members and the other for general patron.

 

At 9:45 a.m., Kids Club members will proceed to the football practice fields that are adjacent to the Switzer Center. 

 

The Kids Club autograph session will begin at 10 a.m., while general patrons will be admitted to the practice fields at 10:30 a.m. The session will conclude at noon.

 

Memberships for the OG&E Sooner Kids Club are available until July 29 when they will be suspended until after the autograph session. Applications are available online at SoonerSports.com or by calling the Athletics Department Marketing Office at 405-325-6353. 

 

Free parking will be available in campus lots, including the Asp Parking Facility on the west side of the stadium. 

 

Concessions and restrooms will be available along with cool zones and games.
