Durron Neal Knows His Time At Oklahoma is Now

The De Smet senior hasn't graduated yet, but news out of Sooner nation this week has expectations and pressure building now.

Were it not for Missouri's departure from the Big 12, Tiger football fans would likely be paying more attention than they are to news which broke out of the University of Oklahoma football program Wednesday night. According to ESPN and multiple other outlets, the Sooners have suspended four players indefinitely, including three wide receivers.

The discipline means the team's incoming recruits, including standout Durron Neal, who were likely to be counted on to contribute as freshmen regardless, now find themselves under a larger spotlight.

Neal, active on social media, tweeted last night, "the pressure is on, and thats when i'm at my best! the big stage doesnt scare me one bit. This what I dream for," and later "my childhood dream is right in front of me and ill be a damn fool not to snatch and cherish it"
