The Oklahoma Sooners have added 14 players in the transfer portal with a vast majority coming on the offensive side of the football.
Oklahoma’s brought in 10 players on offense, two on defense, and two on special teams. The Sooners will have a number of important position battles on offense this offseason as they try to rebound from the worst offensive performance of the last 25 years.
Defensively, the Sooners don’t have a lot of needs but did address some key spots with a couple of veteran additions.
