SoonerScoop podcast: OU flexes its muscle as portal window opens
This is what OU football fans had been waiting to see. When the transfer portal window is about to start, the Sooners have a clear-cut plan. Part of the excitement of Jim Nagy being hired.
A plan that is then executed at a high level. And then? Time to celebrate. This week could not have gone better for OU football and head coach Brent Venables.
You knew the Sooners were going to be aggressive in the transfer portal, but you didn’t know it would come with such massive early results.
OU fans can puff out their chests just a little bit with adding Jaydn Ott and Jake Maikkula a day before the window even opened.

So let’s break it all down. Time to talk about it all on the Unofficial 40 podcast from SoonerScoop. How did this happen? What’s next? All that good stuff.
Murdock summary:
With the announcement that Jake Maikkula and Jaydn Ott signed with Oklahoma football the day before the portal officially opened, OU made a big statement that they are willing to do what it takes to get back on track. We talk about what the signings mean for the Sooners as well as what the portal still could hold in store. We also dive into where we are as a sport right now with Nico Iamaleava and why we feel better about OU’s approach with Jim Nagy in this age of chasing the bag.
Josh recaps the Houston Under Armour and we talk about Ben Arbuckle’s 2027 quarterback and how far along he is in that process as well as where the Sooners stand with one of their top 2026 recruiting prospects. High school spring football gets set to start at a lot of schools in Texas. The baseball team got a big run rule over Oklahoma State last night and today is the day that Aalyah Chavez can officially sign with the Sooners.
All that and all the banter you’ve come to expect from the Unofficial 40 podcast from SoonerScoop.
