Oklahoma has a huge season opener at a neutral field against Houston to kick off 2016 in a couple of months. Whether their top returning threat in the receiving game is on the field remains to be seen.
According to multiple media outlets, Sooners wide receiver Dede Westbrook was arrested late Monday morning on a charge of criminal trespassing. The arrest occurred in Westbrook’s hometown of Cameron, Tex.
No details of what led to the arrest have been released. An OU spokesperson said in a statement that "[w]e’re aware of it and are addressing internally.”
With Sterling Shepard off to the NFL, Westbrook is OU’s leading returning receiver.
In his first season with the Sooners, Westbrook was second on the Sooners in receptions (46) and receiving yards (743). His 16.2 yards per catch was tops on the team for those with 20 or more receptions, while his four receiving touchdowns were tied for third.
For that production, Westbrook was named the Big 12’s Offensive Newcomer of the Year.
