Several players with ties to the Oklahoma Sooners included in ESPN’s ‘most impactful transfers of the last 5 years’

The Oklahoma Sooners have seen a lot of players come and go through the transfer portal and these 5 are among ESPN’s top 40 most impactful since 2018.

The transfer portal has been huge for the Oklahoma Sooners over the last decade. They’ve acquired two Heisman winners and a Heisman finalist at quarterback and the guy that will start for them in 2022, Dillon Gabriel solidified the Sooners quarterback position after Caleb Williams put his name into the portal.

The portal giveth and the portal taketh.

Given that it’s the college football equivalent to NFL free agency, it provides head coaches another avenue to roster building to fill needs on the depth chart or find legit starters.

Tom VanHaaren over at ESPN ranked the 40 most impactful transfers (ESPN+) of the last five years, and several names have a connection to Oklahoma. Though the list goes back to 2018, Kyler Murray transferred to the Sooners in 2017, so he didn’t quite make the list.
