Oklahoma running back Taylor Tatum has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, On3 has learned. He just finished up his sophomore season with the Sooners.
Over his time with the team, Tatum has run for 277 yards and three touchdowns. That all came during his freshman season in 2024, as in 2025, he only received one carry for negative yardage.
Tatum played high school football at Longview (Longview, TX), where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 40 overall recruit in the 2024 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted algorithm that compiles all major recruiting media services.

The 2025-26 college football transfer portal will last 15 days, spanning from Jan. 2 to Jan. 16, the NCAA decided. While players have just over two weeks to enter the portal, they’re not under a deadline to commit when they enter. Traditionally, the cut-off for committing has been how late a school can enroll a player through admissions, so it varies throughout the sport.
