Bassey, Chaisson In Action Saturday
Oklahoma cornerback Eric Bassey and offensive guard Kelvin Chaisson will play in Saturday's Las Vegas All-American Classic, a game that features 110 college seniors from around the nation.
Both will play for the West squad in the game, which kicks off at 3:30 p.m., CST, from Sam Boyd Stadium.
Bassey, from Garland, Texas and North Garland High School, played in 11 games last season while staving off nagging injuries. He had five starting assignments, including one in the Sooners' 17-14 win over No. 6-ranked Oregon in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl. For the season, he was credited with 15 tackles. During his career, Bassey played in 48 games with 27 starts, including 14 at strong safety in 2002. He finished with 112 career tackles and three interceptions, one of which he returned 34 yards for a touchdown against UCLA in 2003. In 2002, he scored another defensive touchdown with a 45-yard fumble return against Alabama.
With 32 starts over the last three seasons, Chaisson was a fixture at left guard for the Sooners.
In 2005, he earned All-Big 12 Honorable Mention from the Associated Press after recording 99 knockdown blocks and being flagged for just one penalty. The Beaumont, Texas and Ozen High School product scored the second-highest season grade among the Sooner offensive linemen.
Oklahoma completed the 2005 season with an 8-4 mark and a 6-2 standard in Big 12 Conference play. The Sooners played the nation's toughest schedule according to the NCAA and were ranked No. 22 in both of the final polls.
