With offensive guard Chris Murray following tackles Anton Harrison and Wanya Morris to the NFL draft, the Oklahoma Sooners will have new faces on most of the offensive line for 2023. One of those new faces will be Miami (Ohio) transfer Caleb Shaffer.
The former three-star recruit has been starting for the RedHawks since his true-freshman season. He entered the transfer portal as a graduate transfer.

Brent Venables and his staff have been quite busy in the transfer portal, so landing Shaffer perhaps slipped through the cracks. Well, the people at On3 noticed. Mike Huguenin named Shaffer as an underrated transfer portal add by Bill Bedenbaugh.
Caleb Shaffer (6-5, 333) was a four-year starter at guard for the RedHawks, earning a starting job early in his true freshman season and never losing it. OU has a vacancy at one guard spot with the departure of Chris Murray, and Shaffer should be considered the leading contender. OU also nabbed Walter Rouse (Stanford) out of the portal, and he figures to start at right tackle.- Mike Huguenin, On3
Keeping Dillon Gabriel upright in the pocket plays a key role in keeping him healthy. If Shaffer ends up starting at guard, he will end up being a vital part of that for the Sooners.
