What was expected has now become official as Brey Walker enters the transfer portal.
A fifth-year senior for the Sooners, Walker played in just three games in 2022. After graduating in December, Walker will explore the portal for his final year of eligibility.
“I just want to say that Oklahoma has always been my ideal school since I was a young child,” Walker shared via Twitter back in December. “Additionally, I want to thank Bob Stoops for giving me a scholarship because he recognized that Oklahoma was where I was raised. Some of the best year of my life have been these last five years.
“I want to express my gratitude to all the coaches, players, and supporters who have shaped me into the athlete and person I am today. That OUDNA will always be with me. Having said that, I’ll be registering on the transfer portal as a graduate transfer for my last year of eligibility next week. Boomer Sooner.”

Brey Walker was the highest-rated recruit in the state of Oklahoma and the No. 2 offensive tackle in the nation, according to 247Sports. The former five-star prospect had a hard time finding consistent playing time with the Sooners.
Over his five-year tenure, Walker played just 311 snaps at the University of Oklahoma. The Westmoore product enters the transfer portal looking for a chance to make an impact in his final season of eligibility. Sometimes a player simply needs a fresh start. Hopefully Brey Walker can find a spot where he can get some playing time to showcase his skills.
