NORMAN — Wide receiver Jer’Michael Carter, who appeared in 16 games at McNeese State over the past two seasons, is set to transfer to Oklahoma for the 2025 season.
Carter announced his commitment Wednesday on social media.
Carter joins a Sooners team in the market for a wide receiver after Javonnie Gibson underwent surgery this spring on a broken leg. OU coach Brent Venables said there’s a chance Gibson could return ahead of the start of the season.
A native of Kentwood, Louisiana, Carter caught 37 passes for 537 yards with three touchdowns last season. Carter caught three passes for 56 yards while averaging 18.7 yards per catch as a true freshman in 2023.
Carter was a first team All-District 9-1A wide receiver out of Kentwood High School in Louisiana.
The Sooners open the season by hosting Illinois State on Aug. 30. OU is coming off a 6-7 third season under Venables in which it finished No. 119 in receiving yards per game and No. 114 in total offense.
