Oklahoma’s Trey Sermon is reportedly ‘planning to enter the transfer portal’

And the beat goes on. Late Friday night, Trey Sermon’s intentions to transfer from Oklahoma were reported.

And the beat goes on.

Late into the final night of one of the strangest work weeks in recent history, Oklahoma football news takes over the spotlight for just a smidge.

According to a report from SoonerScoop.com, the Sooners should be expecting running back Trey Sermon to enter the transfer portal soon.

Sermon, a Marietta, Georgia, native, appeared in ten games for Oklahoma a year ago in a Robin role to Kennedy Brooks’ Batman. His carried oddly dropped after the fifth game of the season from 45 to eight in the next four, all prior to having a season-ending injury against Iowa State on Nov. 9.

The senior running back came to Oklahoma as a 4-star recruit in the 2017 recruiting class and one of the top-200 recruits in the entire class. During his Sooners career, Sermon rushed for 2,076 yards and accounted for 25 total touchdowns.

Backup running back Rhamondre Stevenson is potentially suspended for the first five games of the 2020 season, which will give opportunity to T.J. Pledger, redshirt Marcus Major and incoming freshman Seth McGowan who is already on campus. Brooks carried the load at running back in 2019, accounting for 48.5 percent of the carries by running backs for Lincoln Riley last season.

Sermon will have two years of eligibility left at wherever he transfers, with one being a redshirt.
