Oklahoma is expected to be active during the spring transfer portal window, which officially opened Wednesday. The Sooners got off to a strong start earlier this week, though, with a splash by landing former Cal running back Jaydn Ott.
Ott struggled in 2024, but had a career year as a sophomore in 2023. He surpassed the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career that season, finishing with 1,315 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns to lead the Pac-12 in rushing and become a first team all-conference selection.
As for how Oklahoma was approaching the spring window with new general manager Jim Nagy on board, head coach Brent Venables said it’s about building on the pieces already in place. He noted the program will survey the transfer portal landscape and what players are available before deciding if anyone can come in and make a difference.
“You’re looking at probably every position on your team. You say, ‘well we could use another guy there,’ and you really could,” Venables said Saturday following the conclusion of spring practice. “So we have our priorities and really don’t want to talk through those right now and see if we find anybody that can meet the needs and make us better immediately. And make a difference on the team where we might need some help. So we’ll look at everything and see what’s available.”
