Former Purdue wide receiver Deion Burks, one of the top players at his position in the NCAA transfer portal, told ESPN he has committed to transfer to Oklahoma.

Burks told ESPN that Oklahoma coach Brent Venables visited him this week near Purdue's campus, and Burks said he's headed to Norman this weekend to officially visit his new school.

Burks had a breakout redshirt sophomore season in 2023, earning second-team All-Big Ten honors from the coaches and earning his way onto the NFL draft radar. While he had NFL interest, he said that he felt like another season of physical and mental development would be the best move for him.
