Where former Oklahoma Sooners landed after entering the transfer portal

Where did former Oklahoma Sooners end up after entering the transfer portal?

The Oklahoma Sooners have been working to remake the roster in the image of Brent Venables and his new defensive assistants. With the success they’ve had in the 2022 and 2023 recruiting classes, some transfer portal turnover was to be expected.

The transfer haul in the 2022-2023 portal cycle provided more talent and depth on the roster as the Sooners head into their final year in the Big 12. As 2022 showed, the talent on the roster simply wasn’t good enough to win close games in Big 12 play.

So Venables and his staff attacked the transfer portal to add a wealth of talent, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.

We know who the arrivals are in the transfer portal. Dasan McCullough, Walter Rouse, Rondell Bothroyd and Reggie Pearson will be significant contributors for the Oklahoma Sooners in 2023.

Oklahoma lost a few talented players in the portal, but mostly guys that were having a hard time breaking into the rotation under Venables. Here’s who departed in the portal and where they landed:

How will the Oklahoma Sooners use their defensive line versus Tulane?

By rotating his defensive line, defensive coordinator Alex Grinch views the Sooners’ depth as a weapon.

Oklahoma Sooners Snapshot Profile: No. 92 Kori Roberson

A look at Oklahoma Sooners DT Kori Roberson’s preseason profile.

Evaluating the 2021 roster, Sooners Wire profiles the current players with defensive lineman, Kori Roberson, up next.

Roberson has mainly served as backup rotational depth in Oklahoma’s defensive line. In his 2020 campaign, Roberson accumulated 11 total tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, 1.0 sack, one pass breakup, and one quarterback hurry in 11 games. He has had a limited role in Alex Grinch’s penetrating front and is striving to impress during spring camp.

The former three-star prospect arrived in Norman as a defensive end but has predominately played in the interior at defensive tackle. He is a solid contributor for the Sooners when given opportunities.

Depth Chart Overview

Perrion Winfrey is projected to be the starting nose tackle with Jalen Redmond at defensive tackle. Both Josh Ellison, LaRon Stokes, and Jordan Kelley provide depth along with Roberson in the interior. These will certainly be position battles to watch as spring camp continues. Spots are not set in stone and production on the practice field will determine placement.
