Oklahoma receiver Brenen Thompson has entered the NCAA transfer portal, according to a report from On3’s Pete Nakos.

Thompson is a junior receiver who has had an impact for the Sooners for the past two seasons, serving as one of the team’s ancillary options in the passing game.

He is coming off a 2024 season in which he recorded 19 catches for 230 yards and two touchdowns. He was equally productive the season before that, too, recording seven catches for 241 yards and two touchdowns.

During that time, Thompson has proven he can be a big-play threat, so he’ll certainly have a market in the transfer portal.

That time at Oklahoma came following a brief stint at Texas in 2022. While with the Longhorns, Thompson saw just one catch for 32 yards. He transferred following the season.

Prior to enrolling at Texas, Thompson was a four-star prospect and the No. 101 overall recruit in the 2022 recruiting class. He was ranked as the No. 17 receiver in the class and the No. 18 overall player from the state of Texas, hailing from Spearman (TX) Spearman.

Along with Brenen Thompson, Oklahoma wide receiver Andrel Anthony plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, he told On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

Anthony spent two years with the program after beginning his playing days at Michigan. He will now go through the portal process for the second time in his career, hoping to find a new home.

Wide receiver injuries plagued Oklahoma all season and Anthony was right in the middle of it. He played in just one game this season, having one catch for four yards. This was after going through a rehab process all offseason following a knee injury suffered in 2023 against Texas.

Anthony could not catch a break when it came to staying healthy. Wherever his next stop, making sure he can stay on the field has to be a big priority in his remaining years of eligibility.
