The Sooners needed big-time help at tight end, and now have brought in their third transfer of the offseason in John Locke.

Oklahoma State finally got some good news from the transfer portal again. On Wednesday, McClain Baxley of 247Sports reported that OSU defensive back Kobe Hylton has withdrawn from the transfer portal.

Nothing that happens with the transfer portal should surprise college football fans anymore, but there are always unexpected moves. As Oklahoma State looks ahead to 2025 with several starting jobs up for grabs,

Oklahoma will have Robert Spears-Jennings and Peyton Bowen leading the position in 2025. Patterson-McDonald was a part of a 2024 recruiting class that saw the Sooners also bring in Michael Boganowski, Jaydan Hardy, and Reggie Powers III. In the 2025 recruiting class, the Sooners added Omarion Robinson and Marcus Wimberly to their deep safety room.

The Oklahoma Sooners are one of the teams making a run at former five-star prospect Marvin Jones Jr. Jones entered the transfer portal this offseason after spending two seasons at Georgia and then transferring to Florida State for 2024.

The winter transfer portal is closed up, but time’s not up for the Oklahoma Sooners just yet. The deadline to enter the portal has come and come for most players.

Speaking to the media on Thursday, Brent Venables said the Oklahoma Sooners aren’t done in the transfer portal.

The Oklahoma Sooners have been looking for some veterans to add to their young tight end room in the transfer portal. On Wednesday evening, the Sooners earned a commitment from Louisiana Tech transfer tight end John Locke.
