Dorial Green-Beckham will never play a down of football for Oklahoma. Sooners head coach Bob Stoops announced Tuesday that Green-Beckham, the receiver who was dismissed from Missouri last April and transferred to Oklahoma in August, will enter the 2015 NFL Draft. Stoops indicates that WR Dorial Green-Beckham intends to declare for the NFL Draft. — Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football) January 6, 2015 Green-Beckham was the No. 1 recruit in the nation in the 2012 class and caught 87 passes for 1,278 yards and 17 touchdowns in two seasons for Mizzou before being dismissed from Gary Pinkel’s program after several run-ins with the law. Green-Beckham was arrested twice for marijuana and then was investigated for a “ physical altercation ” in April in which he allegedly forced his way into an apartment and pushed a woman down several stairs. The woman declined to press charges and Green-Beckham was never arrested in the incident, but it did lead to his dismissal. Oklahoma hoped the 6-foot-6, 225-pound Green-Beckham would be able to suit up this season and filed a waiver request with the NCAA . The school learned on Aug. 22 that the request had been denied . Green-Beckham would have been eligible for the 2015 season with the Sooners but decided to enter the NFL Draft instead. Oklahoma went 8-5 this season.
