Much was made about Brent Venables’ comments during his opening week as Sooners’ head coach about how he would attack the transfer portal.
Oklahoma wouldn’t look to reconfigure their entire roster via the portal but instead use it to supplement full size recruiting classes as long as there was a culture and position fit.
That remained true as the only transfers from last year to miss time for off the field issues is tight end Daniel Parker Jr., who is suspended from the team.
With his first season coming to an end, Venables will have the task of retooling the depth with transfer additions.
So far in this cycle they’ve earned the commitment of former four-star and Notre Dame defensive tackle Jacob Lacey. Now, look to be circling another transfer addition, issuing an offer to Division II tight end Kyle Morlock.
Morlock is a two-time All-American and in his most recent season had 30 receptions for 446 yards and six touchdowns. He stands 6-foot-7 and is 245 pounds to boot.
A commitment from Morlock would be huge for Oklahoma since they will be losing senior Brayden Willis to graduation and the NFL after this season. All that remains would be rising sophomores Kaden Helms and Jason Llewellyn who haven’t played a ton on the first year in Norman.
Morlock would have two years of eligibility remaining. On top of the Sooners, Tennessee, Missouri, Florida State, and NC State have all offered.
