Oklahoma football faces a formidable challenge in the upcoming SEC season, making this offseason pivotal for the Sooners. Despite a solid performance last year, their 2024 schedule promises tougher competition, prompting a proactive approach to strengthen the team, notably through the transfer portal.

With 16 transfers already onboard, the latest addition being Damonic Williams from TCU, Oklahoma aims to fortify its defensive line for the upcoming campaign.

Described as a “major addition” by a report from 247 Sports, Williams’ commitment signifies a significant boost for the Sooners as they transition to the Southeastern Conference. With two impressive seasons under his belt, Williams is expected to play a crucial role in bolstering Oklahoma’s defensive line, a critical area of focus in the challenging SEC landscape.

During his freshman year at TCU in 2022, Williams made an immediate impact, recording 27 tackles, 1.5 sacks, and a forced fumble. He followed up with an even more impressive performance in 2023, tallying 33 total tackles and three sacks. Oklahoma football anticipates further growth from Williams with another offseason to refine his skills ahead of the 2024 season.

Head coach Brent Venables has strategically targeted the offensive and defensive lines in the transfer portal, recognizing their importance in the SEC. Notable among the transfers is quarterback Casey Thompson, a key addition following the departure of last year’s starting QB, Dillon Gabriel, to Oregon. Thompson will compete with sophomore Jackson Arnold for the starting role.

The 2024 season presents a compelling narrative for Oklahoma football, with uncertainties surrounding their performance in the competitive SEC. However, it also offers excitement and the opportunity to set a tone for the future of the program.
