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 UCF Knights have added 22 players from the transfer portal, including quarterbacks Tayven Jackson and Cam Fancher. What do they still need?

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

Speaking to the media on Thursday, Brent Venables said the Oklahoma Sooners aren’t done in the transfer portal.

Indiana football has signed former Pittsburgh defensive back Ryland Gandy out of the transfer portal. Gandy made the announcement with a post on his X account. The redshirt junior was a full-time starter for Pitt in 2024 — he had 40 tackles (23 solo) with two pass breakups in 13 starts — and has two years of eligibility remaining.
