Oklahoma Sooners RB Jaydn Ott media day interview

NORMAN — Watch as Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables, offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle and seven players spoke to local media members on Wednesday.

The Sooners are slated to kick off fall camp in Norman on Thursday, and Wednesday's press conferences served as an unofficial media day ahead of the final stretch before getting the season underway on Aug. 30 against Illinois State.

Venables offered a handful of injury updates while also talking about the team at large, including sharing his thoughts on new quarterback John Mateer, running back Jaydn Ott and the progress of the offensive line.

Arbuckle discussed his own growth, as well as the gains the offense made throughout the summer since spring ball closed down in April.
