Oklahoma's work in the transfer portal is fully underway with nearly a dozen offers out and even more Sooners headed elsewhere. So let's have a look at all that is happening in Brent Venables and co. first full run at the portal. Could Oklahoma be in line to take more than a dozen prospects from college football's free agency?

It seems possible.

Career Stats: 22 career games, 19 receptions, 328 yards, and four touchdowns.

Eligibility Remaining: Two years + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Anthony is another receiver that brings some size and has had some big moments - see Michigan State in 2021 - but he'll be an interesting fit for the Sooners.

Career Stats: 48 career games, 136 tackles (68 solo), 30.5 tackles for loss, 16.5 sacks

Eligibility Remaining: One year

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Oklahoma needs difference makers in the front four, and perhaps nowhere more clearly in those who can apply pressure. Bothroyd has ample track record of just that and some familiarity with pieces of the Oklahoma staff makes for an interesting fit.

Jan. 7 Prediction: Oklahoma - CORRECT - Jan. 8

Career Stats: 30 career games, 59 tackles (41 solo), 11.5 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks, one interception, 14 passes defended, three forced fumbles.

Eligibility Remaining: Two years

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Trace Ford is an obvious one as an in-state product from the Oklahoma City area. However, the Sooners may have their work cut out in convincing him to cross the Bedlam line.

Dec. 23 Prediction: Oklahoma - CORRECT - Dec. 28

Career Stats: 37 career games, 35 tackles (18 solo), 6.5 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks.

Eligibility Remaining: Two years

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: The Sooners and Jacob Lacey seem an ideal fit due to the staff's recruitment of Lacey coming out of high school as well as the Sooners defensive line group needing some experience - something that Lacey brings a boatload of.

Career Stats: 12 career games, 49 tackles (32 solo), 6.5 tackles for loss, four sacks, three passes defended.

Eligibility Remaining: 3 years + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Dasan McCullough is a guy who has seen the Sooners recruiting his younger brother, Daeh McCullough, for quite some time and once he entered the portal talk got pretty heavy from the outset that the Sooners were real contenders.

Dec. 8 Prediction: Oklahoma - CORRECT - Dec. 12

Career Stats: 37 career games, 174 tackles (122 solo), 6.5 tackles for loss, three interceptions, 11 passes defended.

Eligibility Remaining: Two years + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Pearson brings a lot of physicality and experience at safety where the Sooners have loads of talent but only a few players who have played much football. He'll improve the room in several ways.

Career Stats: 40 career games, 39 starts at left tackle.

Eligibility Remaining: One year + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Oklahoma's need at left tackle jumped dramatically with the departure of Anton Harrison to the NFL draft and the injury to Jacob Sexton in the bowl game. Rouse is looking for a strong final year and under Bill Bedenbaugh maybe he could find it?

Career Stats: 12 career games, 15 tackles (8 solo), 3.5 tackles for loss, and one sack.

Eligibility Remaining: Two years

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: It's as much about need as anything, the Sooners seem to be in need of some help in the middle of the defense. Could Sears be a help to develop some further depth?

JAN. 5 PREDICTION: Oklahoma - CORRECT - Jan. 9

Career Stats: 28 career games, 23 starts at guard.

Eligibility Remaining: One year + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Oklahoma is trying to create as much competition as they can with an offensive line that has some talent but needs players to be pushed. Shaffer brings a lot of experience to get where they need to go.

Career Stats: 35 career games, 67 receptions, 864 yards, and nine touchdowns.

Eligibility Remaining: One year + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Well, in the most simple terms, Austin Stogner already picked Oklahoma once before, right? His familiarity with the offensive staff seems to have a meaningful role here.

Dec. 8 Prediction: Oklahoma - CORRECT - Dec. 8

Career Stats: 38 career games, 116 receptions, 1,735 yards, and eight touchdowns.

Eligibility Remaining: one year

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Oklahoma is looking for help in the portal at the wide receiver position and Weaver is an interesting combination with some size and route-running ability.

Eligibility Remaining: Two years

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Broden is the kind of big outside receiver that the Sooners got a close look at in the bowl game - Florida State's Johnny Wilson and is a bit more proven than some of the big receivers among Oklahoma's underclassmen. Could he help be the downfield jumpball threat that they lacked at times in 2022?

COMMITTED TO ARKANSAS - Jan. 15

Career Stats: Six career games, two tackles (one solo), one tackle for loss, one forced fumble.

Eligibility Remaining: Three years

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Caleb Banks is another player from the Louisville program, following landing Kani Walker in 2021, who has some physical tools that aren't easy to find.

COMMITTED TO FLORIDA - Dec. 11

Eligibility Remaining: Three years

Career Stats: 28 career games, 145 receptions, 2,139 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Eligibility Remaining: Two years

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Some of Oklahoma's sales job has already been done for them with Dante Cephas seeing Norman for himself already. He is also a vertical threat that seems to fit Oklahoma well.

COMMITTED TO PENN STATE - Jan. 16

Career Stats: 31 career games, 24 career starts.

Eligibility Remaining: Two year + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Oklahoma loses one starter at guard and will need competition to improve at both spots - a guy with Javion Cohen's talent and experience would be an absolute coup.

Career Stats: 23 career games, 22 career starts.

Eligibility Remaining: Two year + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: One of the fast rising lower level prospects in this year's crop of portal players is Rhode Island's Ajani 'AJ' Cornelius. The big man can compete for the left tackle job vacated by Anton Harrison.

COMMITTED TO OREGON - DEC. 21

Career Stats: 22 career games, 54 receptions, 838 yards, and five touchdowns.

Eligibility Remaining: Two years + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Rivaldo Fairweather has picked up some early attention due to his impressive production and though the Sooners don't have a lot of obvious connection to him, the need at tight end - possibly two in this class - is hard to ignore.

COMMITED TO AUBURN - DEC. 19

Career Stats: 41 career games, 148 tackles (76 solo), 27 tackles for loss, 13.5 sacks.

Eligibility Remaining: One year

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Braden Fiske is a simple explanation, the Sooners need impact help on the inside of their defensive line, particularly the interior. A talented guy with loads of experience is just what the Sooners need.

COMMITED TO FLORIDA STATE - DEC. 26

Career Stats: 39 career games, 81 tackles (39 solo), 15 tackles for loss, eight sacks, fumble recovery, and and two passes defended.

Eligibility Remaining: One year

COMMITTED TO OKLAHOMA STATE - Dec. 17

Career Stats: 37 career games, 97 tackles (73 solo), 20 passes defended, one interception, one forced fumble, 3.5 tackles for loss.

Eligibility Remaining: Two years + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Tony Grimes was once a big-time recruit for Clemson who showed some interest in the Tigers. Still though this one feels a bit like a longshot as Grimes's lone trip to Oklahoma during his recruitment was a bit infamous for not going all that well.

COMMITTED TO FLORIDA STATE - DEC. 22

Career Stats: 17 career games, 48 receptions, 723 yards and 7 touchdowns.

Eligibility Remaining: Two years + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Green is another guy from Stillwater that the Sooners are clearly giving a long look to. He's a big outside receiver that the Sooners saw up close last year and could fill a need at the position that Oklahoma has to fill.

COMMITTED TO WISCONSIN - Jan. 13

Career Stats: 25 career games, 91 receptions, 1,373 yards, and nine touchdowns.

Eligibility Remaining: Two years + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Xavier Guillory is a guy that has an impressive offer list but based on Oklahoma's needs and his offer list, the Sooners do seem to stand out a bit from the crowd. His relationship with his former coach, Charlie Ragle, could give Arizona State a very serious role in his recruitment.

COMMITTED TO ARIZONA STATE - Dec. 23

Career Stats: 25 career games, 106 receptions, 1,517 yards, and 14 touchdowns.

Eligibility Remaining: Two years + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Oklahoma looks set to return plenty of the same body types to their receiver room but Tre Harris would give the Sooners something unique.

Dec. 16 Prediction: Oklahoma - INCORRECT - COMMITTED TO OLE MISS - DEC. 23

Career Stats: 23 career games, 16 career starts

Eligibility Remaining: Two years + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: This is more of connecting Oklahoma's needs to an offensive lineman with experience. Myles Hinton also comes from an area that much of the staff has recruited heavily in recent years.

COMMITTED TO MICHIGAN - Dec. 17

Career Stats: 13 career games, 14 tackles (11 solo), 1 tackle for loss, two passes defended.

Eligibility Remaining: One year + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: The Sooners made a real run at Khyree Jackson in the class of 2021 before he ultimately picked Alabama where he spent a year working with, now, Sooners cornerback coach Jay Valai. He has a relationship with Jalil Farooq and the Sooners might be able to win the race the second time around?

COMMITTED TO OREGON - Dec. 18

Career Stats: 10 career games, 31 carries, 115 yards, and two touchdowns.

Eligibility Remaining: Three years

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Oklahoma and LJ Johnson were a very interesting connection during his initial recruitment. He always seemed interested but never really made a move toward the Sooners. There has already been contact so maybe this time it goes differently?

COMMITTED TO SMU - DEC. 27

Career Stats: 36 career games, 22 career starts

Eligibility Remaining: Two years

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Much like Hinton, Keiondre Jones feels like a guy that is as much about the Sooners need as anything but he did give Clemson a fairly serious look during his recruitment.

COMMITTED TO Fla. St. - Dec. 20, 2022

Career Stats: 11 career games, three receptions, 10 yards, and one touchdown.

Eligibility Remaining: Two years + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: It has been forgotten by many but the Sooners seemed a true contender for Christian Leary for quite some time. Could they get a win in the second go around? It's possible but the reality is much of who he was drawn to are no longer in Norman.

COMMITTED TO GEORGIA TECH - Dec. 13

Career Stats: 26 career games, 22 starts at center.

Eligibility Remaining: Two years.

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Lee is an interesting fit for the Sooners with his experience at center. Could he be a guard for the Sooners or would he simply allow Oklahoma to move Andrew Raym around a bit?

Jan. 5 Prediction: Oklahoma - INCORRECT - Committed to Miami - Jan. 8

Career Stats: 23 career games, 82 receptions, 1019 yards, and three touchdowns.

Eligibility Remaining: Two years + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: There's a very real connection between Lovett and Oklahoma's current interim receivers coach L'Damian Washington. Now whether that results in a win this go around? It is unclear.

COMMITTED TO GEORGIA - DEC. 22

Career Stats: 24 career games, 57 receptions, 890 yards, and 11 touchdowns.

Eligibility Remaining: Two years + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Oklahoma has a need at the tight end position with only two young, and highly inexperienced, tight ends returning. Kyle Morlock has been one of the fastest movers among early portal entries and seems to fill a need.

COMMITTED TO FLORIDA STATE - Dec. 15

Career Stats: 20 career games, 64 receptions, 676 yards, and three touchdowns.

Eligibility Remaining: Two years + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Prather is a guy who Oklahoma was involved with out of high school and is another player who can clearly see the need the Sooners have at the position. He also has familiarity with Jalil Farooq in Oklahoma's receiver room.

Dec. 16 Prediction: Oklahoma - INCORRECT - COMMITTED TO MARYLAND - JAN. 4

Career Stats: 7 career games, five receptions, 26 yards

Eligibility Remaining: 3 years + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Braylin Presley is a chance for Oklahoma's new staff to change the narrative that has existed around the state for a while now that the Sooners don't recruit within state lines like they should. Still though, it's not quite clear how he fits into OU's offensive scheme.

COMMITTED TO TULSA - Dec. 16

Career Stats: 20 career games, 19 career starts

Eligibility Remaining: Three years

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Jake Renfro could create a bit of musical chair scenario for the Sooners but a quality center could allow Oklahoma to move Andrew Raym around and you create some interesting depth on the interior of the line.

COMMITTED TO WISCONSIN - Jan. 8

Career Stats: 37 career games, 43 receptions, 541 yards, and three touchdowns.

Eligibility Remaining: Two year + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Roberts is an Oklahoma, and more precisely Norman, native that has always seemed to have some affection for the Sooners. He also is at a position where Oklahoma has a need.

Jan. 5 Prediction: Oklahoma

Jan. 9 Prediction: Arkansas - INCORRECT - Committed to Baylor - Jan. 9

Career Stats: 17 career games, 84 receptions 1,406 yards, and six touchdowns.

Eligibility Remaining: Two years + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Dorian Singer is another prospect that brings a lot to Oklahoma and may well see the need the Sooners have offensively. It will be interesting to monitor if they pursue multiple receivers.

COMMITTED TO USC - Dec. 19

Career Stats: 23 career games, 93 tackles (60 solo), 9 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, one forced fumble, 7 passes defended, two interceptions.

Eligibility Remaining: Three years + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Slusher is a guy that always had an affinity for Oklahoma but int he first go around never got a strong look from the Sooners. His experience at safety could be a welcome addition to a roster look to further enhance depth.

COMMITTED TO LOUISVILLE - Dec. 19

Career Stats: 19 career games, 62 receptions, 878 yards, and 12 touchdowns.

Eligibility Remaining: Two years + redshirt

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: He's another that is largely about Oklahoma having a need from some more production in their wide receiver room. Rara Thomas has done a lot in a Mike Leach scheme that should give Oklahoma some confidence.

COMMITTED TO GEORGIA - DEC. 21

Career Stats: 15 career games, 26 receptions, 541 yards, and three touchdowns.

Eligibility Remaining: 3 years

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Dont'e Thornton is another player from an area that Oklahoma has recruited heavily in recent years and brings the size and speed that Jeff Lebby has shown a real affinity for at the position.

COMMITTED TO TENNESSEE - Jan. 9, 2023

Career Stats: 17 career games, 12 career starts.

Eligibility Remaining: Three years

Why he and Oklahoma Make Sense: Dillon Wade is a guy who has already been familiar with the state of Oklahoma after having spent the last three years in Norman. He's also played in an offense very similar to what the Sooners are running which might make the transition a bit easier.

COMMITTED TO AUBURN - Dec. 24
