Oklahoma Sooners 2025 spring transfer portal live tracker
As of April 30, 2025, the Oklahoma Sooners football program has been active in the spring transfer portal, making strategic additions and experiencing several departures to reshape the roster ahead of the upcoming season. Below is a comprehensive overview of the latest movements:
Incoming Transfers
Jaydn Ott – Running Back (California)
A standout running back from Cal, Jaydn Ott has transferred to Oklahoma. In 2023, he earned first-team All-Pac-12 honors, leading the conference with 1,315 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. An ankle injury limited his 2024 season, but Ott’s addition provides a significant boost to the Sooners’ backfield.
Jake Maikkula – Offensive Lineman (Stanford)
Maikkula brings versatility to the offensive line, having started multiple games at guard for Stanford in 2023 and 2024. His experience is expected to fortify Oklahoma’s offensive front.
Tate Sandell – Kicker (UTSA)
Addressing a need in special teams, Oklahoma added kicker Tate Sandell from UTSA. In 2024, Sandell made 19 of 23 field goal attempts, including a career-long 54-yarder, and set a school record with 62 touchbacks.
John Mateer – Quarterback (Washington State)
John Mateer, a dual-threat quarterback, transferred from Washington State after a productive 2024 season where he amassed over 3,100 passing yards and 826 rushing yards, totaling 44 touchdowns. His addition adds depth and competition to the quarterback room.
Departures
Davon Mitchell – Tight End
Freshman tight end Davon Mitchell entered the transfer portal on April 4. A former four-star recruit, Mitchell’s departure was influenced by missed practices and meetings during the spring.
Mykel Patterson-McDonald – Defensive Back
After a brief return to the team in the winter, Patterson-McDonald re-entered the transfer portal in April. The former four-star recruit did not see playing time during his tenure at Oklahoma.
Sam Franklin – Running Back
Franklin, who transferred from Tennessee-Martin in 2024, entered the portal following the addition of Jaydn Ott, which impacted the depth chart at running back.
Peter Schuh – Defensive Back
Redshirt junior Peter Schuh entered the portal on April 16. A former walk-on, Schuh appeared in four games over three seasons with the Sooners.
Joshua Aisosa – Offensive Lineman
Redshirt freshman offensive lineman Joshua Aisosa announced his entry into the transfer portal on April 18. Aisosa did not record any statistics during his time at Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma Sooners have been proactive in utilizing the spring transfer portal to address key areas, including running back, offensive line, and special teams. The additions of experienced players like Jaydn Ott and Jake Maikkula are expected to have immediate impacts. Conversely, the departures, while notable, open opportunities for incoming talent and existing players to step up.
