Oklahoma loses former defensive end starter to the transfer portal

The Oklahoma Sooners lose a former starting defensive end to the transfer portal.

Another former highly touted recruit for the Oklahoma Sooners hit the [autotag]transfer portal[/autotag] on Monday. This time it was defensive end [autotag]Reggie Grimes[/autotag].

Grimes spent four years in Norman; he tallied 43 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks. Grimes showed flashes, especially during the 2022 season when he was a starter.

He opened that season with four sacks and five tackles for loss. The only problem is he only had one-half sack and 2.5 tackles for loss the rest of the season. He lost his starting job to [autotag]Rondell Bothroyd[/autotag] this season and ended up playing in four games as a role player.

With Grimes only playing four games, he has two years of eligibility remaining for wherever he decides to transfer.
