Wood (6-foot-4, 250 pounds) has not been with the team since reporting for summer workouts June 3, then mysteriously packing his belongings and leaving that night. He has not responded to multiple text messages and phone calls since that time.

According to one source, it wasn’t a surprise when Wood didn’t report Wednesday, but that fact doesn’t necessarily close the door on his chances of being a Sooner this year.

NORMAN — Freshman tight end Dalton Wood did not report the Oklahoma football program Wednesday along with the rest of the team, sources told The Oklahoman .

The former McAlester star was a quarterback for most of his high school career but was recruited to the Sooners as a tight end. He threw for 1,845 yards and 27 touchdowns and rushed for 1,198 yards and 20 scores last season as a senior, earning him a place on The Oklahoman’s 2014 All-State football team.

“They just tell me to be ready to get up there and be ready to hustle, and they’ll find me a spot to play next year,” Wood said in December. “Tight end is what I always wanted to be. At McAlester, we don’t use a tight end much. They needed me at quarterback, so I played it. It’s not my favorite position, but I’ll do whatever it takes for the team to be the most successful.

“I’m hoping to play tight end, but if they move me around, I’m not gonna gripe.”

Wood missed most of his sophomore and junior years with various health problems. He had heart surgery to correct a rare birth defect, ccausing him to miss his sophomore season, then broke his ankle midway through his junior year.
