Another Oklahoma Sooners product has found a new home via the [autotag]transfer portal[/autotag]. After it was reported that Brenen Thompson committed to Mississippi State, tight end [autotag]Bauer Sharp[/autotag] has reportedly committed to the LSU Tigers.
Sharp led the Oklahoma Sooners in receiving in 2024 after making the move from Southeastern Louisiana State last offseason.
He’s an athletic tight end that wasn’t used quite properly in the Sooners passing attack. Only 12 of his 55 targets came on throws 10 yards or more down the field.
It was an up-and-down season for Sharp, who is still developing as a tight end after making the move from quarterback early in his collegiate career. But he was one of the few bright spots in the passing game.
Too many times, however, the offensive coordinators asked Sharp to be the point man on trick plays instead of taking advantage of his athleticism down the field.
Now, Sharp will have the opportunity to face much more favorable coverages with the Tigers, who employ an impressive group of wide receivers. In 2024, Sharp led the Sooners with 42 catches and 327 yards receiving. He also had two receiving touchdowns this season for the Sooners.
