The Oklahoma Sooners have had quite the rollercoaster of events the last few weeks. They have lost some staff members to lesser football programs and then gained some pretty good recruits in the transfer portal like Marvin Jones Jr.

One of Oklahoma State’s top defenders in the portal is staying in the state. On Monday, Hayes Fawcett of On3 reported that transfer safety Kendal Daniels has committed to Oklahoma. Daniels spent the first four seasons of his career at OSU and was a staple of the Cowboys' defense throughout the past three years.

The Oklahoma Sooners received more good news on Monday afternoon as a big piece of their defense is returning for 2025. Oklahoma's best pass rusher, R Mason Thomas, announced his decision on social media.

Oklahoma will have Robert Spears-Jennings and Peyton Bowen leading the position in 2025. Patterson-McDonald was a part of a 2024 recruiting class that saw the Sooners also bring in Michael Boganowski, Jaydan Hardy, and Reggie Powers III. In the 2025 recruiting class, the Sooners added Omarion Robinson and Marcus Wimberly to their deep safety room.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys have been impressive in the transfer portal this December and they have continued to show their intentions as the offers are steadily rolling out the door. The Pokes have attempted to beef of the defense by way of recruiting and one name continues to pop up on the social media recruiting trail.
