Report: Oklahoma DE Perkins, 2 others suspended for LSU game

Oklahoma will be shorthanded for the Peach Bowl against LSU.

Starting defensive end Ronnie Perkins, running back Rhamondre Stevenson, and wide receiver Trejan Bridges will be suspended for the College Football Playoff semifinal for failing drug tests, a source told Jason Kersey of The Athletic.

"I'm aware of the report that's out there," head coach Lincoln Riley said Wednesday. "Unfortunately at this time, I can't comment on it.”

Perkins has been among the Sooners' top defensive players this season, racking up six sacks and 38 tackles.

Stevenson has acted as Kennedy Brooks' primary backup, producing 515 rushing yards and six scores.

Bridges, a former five-star prospect, has primarily played on special teams this season.
