Former Missouri Wide Receiver Dorial Green-Beckham Visits Oklahoma
By Ben Nielsen
Former Missouri Tigers and top recruit Dorial Green-Beckham is visiting the Oklahoma Sooners, according to a report from SoonerScoop.com.
The report, which is protected by a Rivals.com paywall, says Green-Beckham will be in Norman today to take a look at the program. Should Green-Beckham transfer to Oklahoma he would have to sit out the 2014 season as per NCAA rule.
There was some talk about Green-Beckham possible attending Eastern Illinois which is a Football Championship Subdivision school (1-AA). Making that move would allow DGB to play immediately and become eligible for the NFL draft in March 2015 where he could potentially be a high first round pick.
Missouri kicked Green-Beckham off the team in April after allegedly forcing his way into an apartment of his ex-girlfriend and then pushing another 18-year-old woman down several stairs. He had previously been suspended from the team for separate arrests for marijuana.
Whoever adds Green-Beckham is getting one of the most dangerous wide receivers in all of college football. Standing at 6-6, 225 pounds with a projected 4.4 40-yard dash time, Green-Beckham has all of the tools to dominate on the college and professional fields. As a sophomore for Missouri in the SEC, DGB caught 58 passes for 883 yards and 12 touchdowns. This includes a two touchdown performance in the SEC Championship game against Auburn.
