Oklahoma Sooners Spring Transfer Portal Tracker

The spring transfer portal window is officially open as of April 16, 2025.

The window for players to enter the transfer portal runs through April 25.

Even before the portal window opened, the Sooners made a couple of splashes, adding running back Jaydn Ott and offensive lineman Jake Maikkula.

Ott upgrades the Sooners' running back room, while Maikkula provides competition for starting center Troy Everett and gives OU some much-needed depth along the interior of the offensive line.

Oklahoma general manager Jim Nagy and head coach Brent Venables mentioned over the last week that the Sooners plan to be aggressive in the transfer portal to upgrade their starting units and add significant depth pieces.

And before the portal even opened, they did just that.

With needs at tight end, wide receiver, and cornerback, Oklahoma will be a player in the spring transfer portal window as they work to create a roster that can push them to the upper echelon of the SEC.

We'll keep track of the Sooners' departures and additions in our Spring Transfer Portal Tracker.

Departure: Davon Mitchell, TEDavon Mitchell was one of the more significant recruiting wins of the last few years.

A former five-star prospect in 2025 who reclassified to the 2024 signing class struggled to get on the field in his one year in Norman.

He's a talented player who has all the tools to be a difference-maker at the collegiate level.

Patterson-McDonald plays big for his size but Oklahoma's safety room might be the deepest on the roster.

He has the talent to be a playmaker in the secondary.
