NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford will have season-ending surgery and expects to enter the NFL draft in April.
The Oklahoma quarterback injured his right, throwing shoulder twice this season, most recently against Texas on Oct. 10.
The school announced Sunday that Dr. James Andrews will perform the operation Wednesday in Birmingham, Ala.
Bradford added that he intends to enter the draft if the recovery goes as anticipated. The rehabilitation time for the surgery is estimated at four to six months.
