Oklahoma football notebook: Charles Tapper recalls mistaking Samaje Perine for someone's dad | News OK

When Charles Tapper and some of his Oklahoma teammates first met freshman running back Samaje Perine, they thought he had to be someone’s dad.
“He’s like a grown man,” Tapper said. “The first time we met him, we were in the elevator and he smacked the elevator door and stopped it. We were all like, ‘Whose father is this?’ They said, ‘No, that’s the new running back in town.’
“Samaje is a massive human being. It’s crazy. It’s a scary sight seeing him coming at you full speed.”
Perine (5-foot-11, 243 pounds)
