Georgia State transfer defensive lineman Bishop Thomas has committed to Oklahoma, On3 has learned. Thomas played the past two seasons at Georgia State after previously playing at both Colorado and Florida State.
Thomas had a breakout season this past year with the Panthers, finishing with 48 tackles (3.5 for loss), 1.5 sacks and one pass defended. He’ll hope to carry that momentum over into his first year with the Sooners.
Thomas played high school football at Bishop Moore Catholic in Orlando, Florida, where he was a three-star prospect in the 2022 class. He ranked as the No. 555 overall player and No. 62 defensive lineman in the cycle according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, an equally weighted average that utilizes all three major recruiting services.
As a transfer, Bishop Thomas ranks as the No. 865 overall player and No. 95 defensive lineman to enter the portal in the 2026 cycle according to On3. He is the 13th player that Oklahoma has added through the transfer portal so far, including the first defensive lineman.
Additionally, Oklahoma has also lost 27 players via the transfer portal. The Sooners are coming off of a 10-2 regular season and lost in the first round of the College Football Playoff against Alabama.

More on the transfer portal in 2026
The 15-day transfer portal this winter will be the only window, opening Jan. 2 and closing on Jan. 16. The NCAA opted to eliminate the spring transfer portal window for football, meaning this will be the only opportunity for student athletes to enter their names.
The move to a one-time-only portal is supposed to allow schools to finish their season with their entire team before the transfer portal opens. As has been the previous standard, athletes on College Football Playoff teams still playing would have 5 days beginning the day after their team’s final game to enter the transfer portal.
This season’s CFP semifinals took place Jan. 8 and 9. The CFP national championship game between Miami and Indiana is scheduled for Jan. 19 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
