Baylor Bears tight end Jake Roberts (86) reaches back to complete a catch as Cincinnati Bearcats linebacker Dorian Jones (6) defends in the fourth quarter during a college football game between the Baylor Bears and the Cincinnati Bearcats, Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023, at Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati.

The third time is the charm for tight end Jake Roberts and OU. At least, that’s certainly what both sides are hoping.

Roberts, formerly of North Texas and Baylor, announced his commitment to Oklahoma on Monday night. He is the second tight end portal pledge for the Sooners.

This one felt like a countdown. Once Roberts announced he was leaving the Bears, all eyes turned toward OU. Not just because he went to high school at Norman North. But with Seth Littrell taking over as offensive coordinator, it’s the perfect match.

Roberts, of course, began his career under Littrell and the Mean Green. Now he can finish it with the crimson and cream under Littrell.

Wherever Roberts has gone, he has been pretty productive. He had 23 catches for 231 yards and a touchdown last season. At UNT, Roberts had 43 receptions for 541 yards and three scores.

Roberts joins Bauer Sharp as the two tight ends to become Sooners via the portal.

Here are the 11 portal additions for OU:

  • OT Spencer Brown (Michigan State)
  • CB Dez Malone (San Diego State)
  • WR Deion Burks (Purdue)
  • RB Samuel Franklin (Tennessee-Martin)
  • TE Bauer Sharp (Southeastern Louisiana)
  • OG Febichi Nwaiwu (North Texas)
  • CB Jocelyn Malaska (Utah)
  • K Tyler Keltner (Florida State)
  • DE Caiden Woullard (Miami (Ohio))
  • OG/T Michael Tarquin (USC)
  • TE Jake Roberts (Baylor)

Track transfer portal activity

While the NCAA Transfer Portal database is private, the On3 Network has streamlined the reporting process tracking player movement. If you find yourself asking, ‘How can I track transfer portal activity?’ our well-established network of reporters and contacts across college athletics keeps you up to speed in several ways, from articles written about players as they enter and exit the portal or find their new destination, to our social media channels, to the On3 Transfer Portal.

The portal wire provides a real-time feed of player activity, including basic player profile information, transfer portal ranking and original On3 Industry recruiting ranking, as well as NIL valuation (name, image and likeness).

The On3 Transfer Portal Rankings allow for you to filter the On3 Industry Rankings to find the best of the best in the portal, starting with Overall Top Players.

You can dive deeper into the rankings and filter by position whether it is Quarterback, Running Back, Wide Receiver, Tight End, Offensive Tackle, Interior Offensive Line, Edge, Defensive Line, Linebacker, Cornerback, Safety, Athlete, Kicker, Punter, or Long Snapper you’re looking for.

The On3 Transfer Portal Instagram account and Twitter account are excellent resources to stay up to date with the latest moves.
