The Sooners needed big-time help at tight end, and now have brought in their third transfer of the offseason in John Locke.

Oklahoma will have Robert Spears-Jennings and Peyton Bowen leading the position in 2025. Patterson-McDonald was a part of a 2024 recruiting class that saw the Sooners also bring in Michael Boganowski, Jaydan Hardy, and Reggie Powers III. In the 2025 recruiting class, the Sooners added Omarion Robinson and Marcus Wimberly to their deep safety room.

The winter transfer portal is closed up, but time’s not up for the Oklahoma Sooners just yet. The deadline to enter the portal has come and come for most players.

The Sooners have picked up 14 commitments from the transfer portal thus far, and there are still some areas where reinforcements are needed.
