Journalism senior David Godbold melds love of basketball with career goals

From SoonerSports.com

David Godbold wasn't highly recruited out of high school, but he had a dream of playing big-time college basketball. A native of Oklahoma City, he followed that dream by staying close to home to play at OU.

Many doubted his ability to be effective at the Division I level, but Godbold has been a solid contributor for the Sooners since his freshman season. He has established himself as one of the team's best defenders and has shown a knack for knocking down big shots.

His abilities extend far beyond the basketball court, however. A journalism major and one of the most personable players on the team, Godbold is a natural in front of the camera. He has been a fixture as the team's spokesperson in promotional spots throughout his career and, last summer, gained some first-hand experience on the broadcast side of things while interning at Channel 5.

Godbold's dream now is to combine both talents and stay involved with the game he loves by becoming a sports broadcaster.

We recently sat down with David to talk about his future career pursuits, as well as to reflect on some of his experiences over the last four years at Oklahoma. Read the full interview at Sooner Sports.
