NORMAN — OU redshirt junior offensive lineman Troy Everett will have surgery Wednesday, head coach Brent Venables announced after practice on Tuesday.
Everett didn’t participate Tuesday following an injury that occurred last Wednesday during practice where he walked off on his own power. Appearing in nine games in 2023, Everett was expected to step up as one of the leaders of the offensive line in 2024 and now won’t return until the end of fall camp.
“We got some bad news with Troy Everett. He’s going to have a surgery,” Venables said. “But we’re hoping to see him back by the end of fall camp or so. And if anybody can do it, he will. We’ve got great doctors and a great plan for him.”
Junior wide receiver Brenen Thompson, who also suffered an injury last Wednesday was suited up but stood off to the side during the first receivers drill on Tuesday. Baylor transfer tight end Jake Roberts and Washington transfer offensive lineman Geirean Hatchett stretched with the team, but left as practice was getting started and both wore tennis shoes instead of cleats.
Defensive backs redshirt senior Justin Harrington and junior Gentry Williams continued rehabbing during practice. Harrington is recovering from ACL surgery and Williams underwent labrum surgery.
