After missing the last two games with a sprained MCL he sustained against Baylor, Oklahoma DE/LB Ronnell Lewis will miss the Insight Bowl as well, although for a different reason.
Coach Bob Stoops confirmed today that Lewis didn’t meet the academic requirements for the fall semester and has been ruled ineligible for the Sooners’ game against Iowa.
Stoops also added that it would be in Lewis’ “best interest to go on to the NFL.”
Lewis, a junior, was rumored to have academic issues before the beginning of the season, but was ruled eligible just before the first weekend of play. He was second on the team in sacks (5.5) and tackles for loss (13), and was third in tackles with 59 before hurting his knee.
