Oklahoma fans were blindsided when linebacker Kobie McKinzie chose to leave the Sooners and enter the Transfer Portal, but where he chose to finish his college football career was even more of a surprise.
Hayes Fawcett of On3 reported on Tuesday that McKinzie committed to Northwestern after spending the first four years of his career with the Sooners.

McKinzie made 10 starts as a Sooner between this season and last. He started the first eight games this season before getting injured and losing the job to breakout star Owen Heinecke, who still may or may not return depending on what the NCAA decides.
