After enduring a pair of injury-riddled seasons in Norman, wide receiver J.J. Hester is ready to realize his potential this fall for the Sooners.
The Tulsa native transferred back to the Sooner State after two years at Missouri, but has spent the better part of two years on the training table rehabbing foot injuries at OU.
“I’m feeling 100 percent,” Hester said on Tuesday. “You know, it took me a while to get back to this, but overall it’s been going great, and I’m just blessed to get back on the field.” “It took a toll on me, definitely, just the mental side of it,” Hester said. “Just coming in here, wanting to help the offense play and then getting injured, that was definitely unexpected. I just stayed close with family, friends and kept God close, and I was able to battle back and come back.”Hester feels he’s built similarly, and that he’s a great option to slide in and post similar issues.
The guys who go up against Hester every day in practice agree with the wide receiver’s assessment of his skillset.said on Tuesday. “He is showing himself and back into his groove and showing everybody why he should be fighting for that starting spot.”
