The Oklahoma Sooners are looking to add their second linebacker from the Oklahoma State Cowboys in as many days. On Monday, the Sooners added former Oklahoma State defender Kendal Daniels. Now, on Tuesday, OU is set to host [autotag]transfer portal[/autotag] linebacker Jeff Roberson.
According to Steve Wiltfong of On3, the Sooners are hosting Roberson for a visit on Tuesday. Not long after that report, Wiltfong and Pete Nakos, also of On3, issued predictions favoring the Sooners to land the veteran linebacker.
Roberson was a three-star prospect in the 2020 recruiting class and the No. 11 player in the state of Oklahoma. In 2024, he totaled 58 tackles, nine tackles for loss, and three sacks for the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
According to Pro Football Focus, Roberson was third on the team with 19 total pressures and second on the team with 30 stops, which accounts for down and distance when a tackle is made.
According to Oklahoma State’s official website, Roberson was a multiple-time Special Teams Player of the Week for the Cowboys.
The Sooners like their young linebacker corps, but the additions of Daniels and Roberson, if they earn his commitment, provide some veteran leadership to the team.
