Practice report (8-26-09)
Stoops was not available for post-practice interviews today, but wide receivers coach Jay Norvell was. Norvell said he expects Jaz Reynolds to play this season.
“I see Jaz playing if he continues to perform the way he’s practiced,” Norvell said. “He can stretch the field; he’s a very smart kid, which has allowed him to improve quickly.”
Other notes:
* Dejuan Miller continues to play well. He has especially impressed with his ability to make catches deep.
* Trent Ratterree came to the interview room for the time I can remember. Ratterree, a walk-on, said it’s been a dream come true making it onto the field for the Sooners. Ratterree is currently the No. 3 tight end behind Jermaine Gresham and Brody Eldridge, assuming Eldridge ever makes it back to tight from the offensive line.
* Dejuan Miller said Ryan Broyles is the fastest receiver on the team, running better than a 4.4. He also said Jaz runs a 4.44 and is scary fast for true freshman. Jaz also boasts a 40-inch vertical jump. Miller pointed out Reynolds’ upside is unreal because of his athleticism.

After seeing the tight for North Carolina on the ACC preview show, Gresham will have to pick it up a notch or
two to compete with this guy. This NC player is the
complete package on tight ends.
