Geneo Grissom back at defensive end; Stoops: Move to TE hasn’t ‘come together’

Junior Geneo Grissom has officially moved back to defense.

After 6-foot-4, 247-pound sophomore entered Saturday’s game at Iowa State on defense, an OU official said Grissom was practicing on both offense and defense.

Coach Bob Stoops confirmed Monday during his news conference that Grissom is still practicing some at tight end, but that defensive end is his main position.

“We thought it was really gonna come together, and it just hasn’t,” Stoops said of Grissom’s summer move to tight end.

“He still works it part of them time for our goal line and some of those packages … if something was to happen to Brannon Green, he can do it.

“He goes over there for practice time … but he’s back at defensive end.”

Green, a junior-college transfer, is the only OU tight end with any catches this season; he hauled in an 18-yard touchdown in the season opener at UTEP.
