NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -Football is king where Tom Wort is from. Just not American football.
The British-born Wort finds himself in a land where his obsession with football – the kind with an oblong ball – is rewarded. And on Saturday night, he’ll get his chance to play for the first time for No. 7 Oklahoma.
He’s expected to start at middle linebacker in place of the injured Austin Box, making a debut that was delayed a year by an injury of his own.
Wort says his main concern is whether he’ll be able to control the emotions that have been building inside of him since he fell in love with the sport so many years ago and so many miles away.
