NORMAN — OU football has reportedly added a fifth quarterback to its roster.
Former Norman North standout Gavin Frakes, who spent two seasons at New Mexico State and last season at Virginia, is set to transfer to the Sooners, according to a report Thursday from OUInsider.
Frakes made five starts for New Mexico State in 2022 but didn’t see action in 2023. He also didn’t play for the Cavaliers in 2024 and has two years of eligibility remaining.

Frakes joins John Mateer, Michael Hawkins Jr., Whitt Newbauer and Jett Niu as quarterbacks on the Sooners’ roster.
Frakes is OU’s seventh spring transfer portal addition, joining Newbauer (Mercer), wide receiver Jer’Michael Carter (McNeese State), defensive tackle Siolaa Lolohea (Utah State), offensive lineman Jake Maikkula (Stanford), running back Jaydn Ott (Cal) and kicker Tate Sandell (UTSA).
