No news is good news in July. When word had circulated earlier this week that Kennedy Brooks<\/a><\/strong> was not participating in summer workouts there was cause for concern. However, the Oklahoma Sooners received some good news as Kennedy Brooks<\/a><\/strong> is fully reinstated.<\/p>\n

Kennedy Brooks Fully Reinstated<\/h3>\n

The past few years under Lincoln Riley<\/strong><\/a>, the Sooners offense has thrived. Now, certainly, that\u2019s been complimented by back to back Heisman Trophy winners. But, the running game has been a focal part of Riley\u2019s offense. Whether that\u2019s been Samaje Perine<\/strong><\/a>, Joe Mixon<\/a><\/strong>, or Rodney Anderson<\/a><\/strong> Oklahoma has consistently churned out 1,000-yard rushers. After Brooks stood in for the aforementioned Anderson, he ran for nearly 1,100 yards. Incredibly, he ran for 8.9 yards per carry in 2018.<\/p>\n

Today, Brooks was fully reinstated to the University of Oklahoma following clearance of a Title IX investigation. Brooks was suspended from all academic and athletic activities during the suspension which ruled in his favor this evening.<\/p>\n
