The Oklahoma Sooners saw one of their newest offensive linemen leave the team through the transfer portalas Jermayne Lole changed his commitment from Oklahoma to Texas Longhorns.
Lole announced the change on social media. He heads south to Austin before even playing for the Sooners. Both programs are entering their first season in the SEC.
Lole originally committed to the Sooners in the transfer portal on April 22, but the senior, who still has a year of eligibility left, changed his mind just two and a half weeks later.
Lole produced at a high level at Arizona State before injuries limited him in previous seasons. As a true sophomore in 2019, Lole recorded 10 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks. He played at Louisville in 2023, recording 19 total tackles and 1.5 sacks.
Lole was one of many standout additions to Oklahoma’s defensive line in the 2024 recruiting and portal cycles for Brent Venables and your team. However, the addition of Damonic Williams last week creates a bit of a logjam at defensive tackle. It’s a good problem, yes, but it can lead to situations like this.
He will now wear burnt orange for Steve Sarkisian, and the Sooners will see Lole on Oct. 12 in Dallas.
