NORMAN, Okla. -- Junior catcher/infielder J.T. Wise is the focus of SoonerSports.com's 10th installment of the 2008 Baseball Newcomer Video Spotlights.
In preparation for the 2008 season, SoonerSports.com will feature one of the Sooners' newcomers each week throughout the rest of the year.
Each spotlight will include an updated bio, Q&A session and a series of videos including practice footage and a scouting report from OU head coach Sunny Golloway.
Wise comes to Norman after spending two years and playing in 101 games at Louisiana State. Wise was a Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-American in 2006 as a Tiger.
