But, Wease revealed he wanted to go to Ole Miss.Wease mentioned he was drawn to Ole Miss offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby. But Lebby ended up joining Oklahoma’s staff under Brent Venables.
Wease opened up on that process on The Podcast on the Prairie. “I was gonna hit the portal before the coaching staff change happened, if I’m being honest,” Wease said. “I was interested in going to Ole Miss and playing for (Jeff) Lebby). We talked about me going out there. Come to find out, he gets a job at Oklahoma. Of course, I never wanted to leave Oklahoma.
But you know, just how certain stuff plays out, stuff happens. Once I heard about Linc getting the new job, blah blah blah. I’m like, maybe the new coach, maybe this is like my blessing in disguise. And then come to find out, I see Lebby gets the job. I was just talking to him so why would I leave now?’
