Two Oklahoma defensive backs, Peter Schuh and Jocelyn Malaska, have entered the NCAA transfer portal during the spring window, which remains open until April 25th. Schuh, a preferred walk-on, appeared in games for the Sooners in the 2022 and 2023 seasons, while Malaska, a local talent from Bethany, Oklahoma, played one season at Oklahoma after transferring from Utah. Their departures contribute to a total of five Sooners entering the portal this spring.
The spring transfer portal provides teams with a final opportunity to adjust their rosters before the 2025 season, with Oklahoma having already added two new players from the portal. The trend of walk-ons and preferred walk-ons dwindling in college football due to roster restrictions has impacted programs like Oklahoma, which have been forced to navigate the challenges of roster management within the new NCAA and conference rules.
