Where does OU fall in new transfer portal class rankings from ESPN?
The Oklahoma Sooners were very productive in the lone NCAA transfer portal window this past winter, and after a run to the College Football Playoff last year, they feel good about the ways they were able to improve their roster via the portal.
In new transfer portal class rankings for ESPN, writer Craig Haubert had OU's class ranked as the 23rd-best in the nation, highlighting some key additions on the offensive side of the ball.
"Oklahoma's portal class is on the smaller side relative to other SEC peers, but it's clear the Sooners prioritized finding John Mateer some help. Their six highest-graded additions are all on offense. That includes doubling up at receiver, tight end and along the offensive line. Arkansas offensive lineman E'Marion Harris started 24 games between guard and tackle over the past two seasons. He's a sound pass blocker with a huge 6-foot-7, 313-pound frame. Oklahoma also added guard Peyton Joseph from Georgia Tech, though he's a bit more of a long-term project with four years of eligibility remaining. The Sooners brought both Trell Harris (Virginia) and Parker Livingstone (Texas) into the fold at receiver. Harris is smaller, quicker and a nightmare to reel in after the catch. Livingstone has a bigger frame at 6-foot-4 and his departure was a bit of a surprise given his chemistry with . They also added several tight ends including a pair with complementary skill sets: () is a more experienced, traditional in-line option while Jack Van Dorselaer () has some upside as a pass catcher." - Craig Haubert, ESPN.
