Frank Shannon, who led the team in tackles in 2013, but sat out all of last season, will not be the starter at inside linebacker Saturday when the Sooners open their season against Akron.

Jordan Evans will start over Shannon, but coach Bob Stoops said Shannon will play. Shannon missed a good portion of the fall camp with a pulled muscle. Dominique Alexander will start at the other inside linebacker position for the Sooners. Evans was second on the team in tackles last year. He had 93.
