The Oklahoma Sooners are not done trying to find players in the transfer portal to join the team for the 2024 college football season. So, far they’ve done a nice job adding several players that should make an immediate impact.
On Monday they made another offer to a big-time defensive lineman from Albany, [autotag]Anton Juncaj[/autotag]. Juncaj will have one year of eligibility remaining but his numbers don’t lie.
In 2022, he had 29 tackles, seven tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks. In 2023, he took a major jump. He finished with 55 tackles, 21.5 tackles for loss and 15 sacks.
For comparison, Jared Verse who started his career at Albany before transferring to the [autotag]Florida State Seminoles[/autotag] and is projected to be a first-round pick, had 52 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks during his final season there.

Now, Verse was a redshirt freshman whereas Juncaj is a senior. But as you can see the production is there. Juncaj is going to be highly sought. According to his social media account, he has received offers from [autotag]SEC[/autotag] schools Arkansas and Texas A&M.
The Sooners are going to have to generate a pass rush in 2024. That is no secret. They finished with 19 sacks, which was tied for 110th in the country. Juncaj had almost that many by himself. So, he would definitely bring that ability if he picks the Sooners.
