The Oklahoma Sooners have extended an offer to a transfer portal wide receiver out of Louisiana, signaling their continued push to bolster the offense ahead of the 2025 season. As Brent Venables and his staff look to retool a wide receiver corps that’s seen its share of attrition, the addition of a talented, experienced pass-catcher from the portal could prove vital.
The receiver, originally from Louisiana, has drawn attention from multiple Power Five programs since entering the portal earlier this spring. Known for his speed, precise route-running, and ability to stretch the field, he brings a level of explosiveness that Oklahoma’s offense is seeking to restore following the departure of key contributors from last season.
Sources close to the situation indicate that the Sooners are aggressively recruiting the Louisiana native, who has two years of eligibility remaining. His breakout performances last fall turned heads across the country, and he finished the season with over 800 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, despite inconsistent quarterback play and limited offensive production at his previous school.
Oklahoma’s offer is part of a larger trend this offseason as the program looks to stay competitive during its transition into the SEC. The Sooners have made it clear they intend to recruit the portal hard, especially when it comes to positions where experience can make an immediate impact. With spring practice providing a clearer picture of depth chart needs, adding another veteran wideout has become a priority.
The wide receiver has yet to announce his shortlist of finalists, but Oklahoma is believed to be firmly in the mix. Venables and offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby have emphasized fit and culture in their portal targets, and this Louisiana native reportedly meshes well with the team’s locker room dynamics and playing style.
While a commitment timeline has not been publicly revealed, the Sooners are expected to host him on campus in the coming days. If all goes well, Oklahoma could land a major playmaker capable of stepping into a starting role from day one.
