How are Oklahoma football transfers performing with their new programs?

How are former Oklahoma Sooners like Tanner Mordecai doing with their new schools in 2021?

The Oklahoma Sooners have been big-time beneficiaries of the transfer portal over the years. The story on QBU’s been told, but Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray and Jalen Hurts transferring in helped pave the way for Lincoln Riley’s tenure in Norman. As much as those players benefited from the transfer portal, there have been some who’ve benefited by finding a fresh start by leaving the Oklahoma Sooners and finding a new place to call home.

SMU and Tanner Mordecai were off to a 7-0 start before dropping Saturday night’s game to Houston, whose only loss came to Texas Tech in the season opener. Mordecai has played great this year and set a single-game SMU record for passing touchdowns in the opener.

After Week 9, let’s take a look at what the players Oklahoma lost in the transfer portal in 2021 have been up to this year.

Oklahoma’s Jadon Haselwood, among others return from absence for Baylor game

Oklahoma’s Jadon Haselwood is set to return to action tonight against Baylor along with Jaden Davis, Jon-Michael Terry and LaRon Stokes.

No. 11 Oklahoma returns to action tonight for their final home game of the season against Baylor.

The Sooners had an unplanned bye week last Saturday after their game with West Virginia was postponed back two weeks due to a COVID-19 outbreak among players and coaches on Oklahoma.

As the Sooners and Bears collision approaches at the top of the hour, players are taking the field for pregame warmups and allowing us to see just exactly who is going to be suiting up tonight for Lincoln Riley.

Oklahoma will be getting several key players back who were previously inactive including wide receiver Jadon Haselwood, cornerback Jaden Davis, defensive lineman LaRon Stokes and outside linebacker Jon-Michael Terry.

Haselwood had previously made his return from injury to make his season debut against Kansas, but was inactive for Bedlam two weeks ago.

Davis, a starter in the secondary, will be another welcomed return for the defense along with Stokes and Terry.

The Sooners will kick things off against Baylor at approximately 7:05 p.m. CT at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
