The Oklahoma Sooners put together a resurgent season in 2025. After going 6-7 in 2024, including a 2-6 mark in the Southeastern Conference, OU improved to 10-3 in 2025 and a 6-2 record in the SEC in just their second year in the league. Fourth-year head coach Brent Venables took his team to the College Football Playoff, where the Sooners were defeated in the first round by Alabama.

With the offseason upon us, there will be no shortage of player movement between now and next season, with much of it coming in the NCAA Transfer Portal. Unlike previous years, there will be only one portal window this season, running from January 2 to January 16. That timeframe is also a change from prior years.

Oklahoma had 111 total players on the roster at the beginning of the 2025 season, and we’ll take a look at how that number fluctuates between now and the first game of the 2026 season on September 5th. The Sooners will lose players to the NFL Draft, and to a lack of remaining eligibility, and they’ll also lose players to the transfer portal. However, OU signed 24 players onto the roster via high school recruiting back on December 3rd, and they’ll also add players via the portal.

Here, we’ll take a look at what the Sooners are gaining and losing in the transfer portal, with what you need to know about each incoming and outgoing player.

Outgoing: Isaiah Dent, OL

Offensive lineman Isaiah Dent is expected to enter the transfer portal when it opens on January 2nd. Dent just finished his redshirt-freshman season in Norman, after arriving in Oklahoma as a part of the 2024 recruiting class. He played in just one game as a Sooner, and it came against Maine in 2024. Dent was a consensus three-star recruit out of high school, and is the cousin of former OU running back Marcus Dupree.

Outgoing: Kobie McKinzie, LB

Linebacker Kobie McKinzie is expected to enter the transfer portal when it opens on January 2nd. He spent four seasons in Norman, and was a starter at inside linebacker for the first two months of the 2025 season. However, his production and playing time waned down the stretch, and the redshirt junior became a backup for the majority of OU’s “Red November”. He’ll have one season of eligibility remaining at his new school.

Outgoing: Kendel Dolby, DB

Defensive back Kendel Dolby is set to hit the portal when it officially opens on January 2nd. He was a breakout player at the Cheetah position for OU’s defense in 2023, and was a starter in 2024. Unfortunately, he suffered a season-ending injury in the 2024 Tennessee game that ultimately sent his Oklahoma career in a different direction. Dolby returned in 2025, but took snaps at a few different positions, including cornerback. He didn’t see the field after the Texas game, and ultimately chose to preserve his redshirt.

Outgoing: Jayden Gibson, WR

Wide receiver Jayden Gibson will enter the transfer portal when it opens on January 2nd. Gibson hasn’t been with the program since mid-October, and he hasn’t been on the field since 2023. After a really nice stretch of games that year, he suffered a season-ending injury ahead of what was supposed to be a breakout 2024 campaign. Though he was expected to be back in 2025, Gibson suffered an injury setback ahead of spring ball that ultimately derailed his time in Norman. He was the first departure from OU’s 2025 roster, and the only one to happen during the regular season.
