Sooners add defensive lineman, Oklahoma City native to roster for 2024

Oklahoma Sooners make late addition to the 2024 roster.

The Oklahoma Sooners official roster for the 2024 season is out and there’s another piece to the puzzle joining the team this fall. The Sooners added a late transfer in former New Mexico defensive lineman David Rowaiye.

Rowaiye, a native of Oklahoma City, spent the last two seasons with the Lobos after signing in the 2022 recruiting class. He was a three-star prospect that also had offers from Baylor and Eastern Michigan.

New Mexico redshirted him in 2022, but Rowaiye didn’t earn any playing time in 2023.

The Sooners have good depth along the defensive line heading into the 2024 season, which will make it tough to see the field. But under the direction of Todd Bates, Miguel Chavis, Zac Alley, and Brent Venables, the Sooners could have a player in the making.

Gators expected to sign coveted transfer portal WR on Friday

Billy Napier and Co. are expected to announce another major transfer portal win on Friday.

Florida football is expected to add another name to its roster from the 2024 NCAA transfer portal on Friday.

According to both 247Sports and On3, redshirt junior wide receiver [autotag]Elijhah Badger[/autotag] formerly of the Arizona State Sun Devils is projected to become a member of the Gators once he finalizes his decision.

Swamp247’s Blake Alderman submitted a crystal ball prediction for Florida late Thursday night while Nick de la Torre reports that Gators Online also cast a prediction for the Orange and Blue.

The 6-foot-2-inch, 190-pound pass-catcher originally in the 2020 cycle made an official visit to UF earlier this week and came away with a better understanding of what Billy Napier and Co. have to offer.

Recruiting Summary

Badger is a four-star transfer portal prospect according to 247Sports, ranking No. 184 overall and No. 36 at his position.

As a prep recruit in the 2020 cycle, he was also a four-star prospect according to both 247Sports and On3. The former ranked him at No. 182 overall and No. 6 at the athlete position while the latter placed him at No. 121 overall and No. 23 at wide receiver.
