OU football: Freshman DL Derek Green leaving program

Oklahoma freshman defensive lineman Derek Green is leaving the school, according to multiple reports.

"I am planning to go serve our country proudly and hit the [transfer] portal if I change my mind," Green told SoonerScoop.com. "I know my family is talking degree first, so I will hit the portal sometime. But I will be enlisting for my good."

Green, from Jacksonville, North Carolina, was an early enrollee in OU's 2019 class. He was a three-star prospect and the 57th-ranked defensive tackle in the 2019 class, according to 247Sports.
