Oklahoma has made it clear that they are looking for seasoned wide receiver help this winter. They’ve sent out multiple offers to wide receivers in the transfer portal and continued that trend with an offer to Idaho State transfer Xavier Guillory on Monday.
Guillory stands 6-foot-2 per Idaho State’s official roster. In his collegiate career, Guillory has 91 catches for 1,373 yards and nine touchdowns. He’s averaged 15 yards per reception. Guillory was also a Big Sky All-Conference selection.
With Oklahoma’s interest, it brings his offer total to 14.

Guillory has received offers from Arizona State, Colorado, Hawaii, Louisville, Miami (Ohio), Montana, Montana State, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Utah, and Washington State, among others.
Guillory communicated with Brandon Huffman of 247Sports and had a few thoughts about his Sooners offer. “The Oklahoma offer is huge,” said Guillory. “They want me to go and compete to be a WR1.”
Guillory also made it known to Huffman that he really wants to find a way to get a visit in with the Sooners.
Prior to the Oklahoma offer, it seemed like a two-horse race between Arizona State and Washington State. With Oklahoma tossing its crimson cap into the mix, it’s officially a three-team race, with the Sooners coming in hot. A visit to Norman could give Oklahoma a serious chance at turning this recruitment on its head and putting itself in the driver’s seat.
Oklahoma offers the brightest lights out of any of his offers, but Guillory is from Spokane, Washington. That could give Washington State an advantage if playing close to home means a significant amount for the sophomore wide receiver.
With the departure of Theo Wease and other depth options via the portal, Oklahoma is looking for talent for the wide receiver room. You can never have enough playmakers at the wide receiver position.
