NORMAN — OU football added one of its top targets in the transfer portal on Sunday.

The Sooners landed a commitment from former Florida tight end Hayden Hansen, he announced.

The 6-foot-7, 269-pound standout caught 30 passes for 254 yards and two touchdowns this past season.

Hansen entered the transfer portal Dec. 18.

He has recorded 57 receptions for 611 yards and five touchdowns in his career.

Tight end is one of OU’s biggest needs following a couple of years of lacking development. The Soonersfired position coach Joe Jon Finley last week.

OU is currently hosting former Colorado State tight end Rocky Beers, the older brother of Sooners women’s basketball star center Raegan Beers, for a visit.
