The Oklahoma Sooners are actively looking to bolster their roster in the upcoming transfer window. They have shown interest in Stanford transfer Jake Maikkula but are also eyeing Cal running back Jaydn Ott, who is set to enter the transfer portal on April 16. Ott, a dynamic player, ran for over 800 yards as a true freshman in 2022 and exceeded 1,300 yards in 2023 before being hampered by injuries last season.
With one season of eligibility remaining, Ott offers impressive contact balance, breakaway speed, lateral agility, and burst. His ability to generate big plays in the run game makes him an attractive prospect for the Sooners, who are seeking to enhance their running back depth. Despite having solid options at the position, including Jovantae Barnes, injuries and inconsistent production have left room for Ott to potentially make a significant impact if he joins the team.
