Although he's close, Oklahoma general manager Jim Nagy isn't batting 1.000 during this Transfer Portal cycle.
The Sooners have successfully added 10 players from the portal so far, but not everyone OU went after during this cycle ended up a Sooner, especially a few top targets that looked sure to make an impact in 2026 at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium before another program swooped in. However, with Nagy and his staff still working, no losses so far have been detrimental.
First-Team All-MAC linebacker Gideon ESPN Lampreon, with a viral middle name, was a top target to fill the Sooners' biggest defensive need and was scheduled to visit Norman this week, but he never even made it to campus before pledging to Colorado.
