NORMAN, Okla. -- Remember the Nike commercial from a few year's back featuring professional athletes excelling in sports other than their own? (If not, click here). The last scene in the commercial features Lance Armstrong in the boxing ring with the tag line: "This guy can do anything!"
 
That line reminds us of Ryan Randolph, a freshman guard on the Oklahoma men's basketball team.
 
Widely recruited to play football, Randolph decided instead to walk on for the Sooners to fulfill a lifelong dream. He also had an opportunity to go to Harvard but instead is at OU double-majoring in business entrepreneurship and pre-med. His goal is to become a surgeon.
 
You see, this guy really can do anything. Learn more about Randolph in this week's video profile.
