Mixon ran for over 2,000 yards in two seasons on the field for the Sooners after he was suspended for the 2014 campaign after punching a female student.

He was not invited to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis last week/weekend because of that incident.

Mixon is among more than a dozen Sooners set to work out for NFL teams in Norman on Wednesday.
