Oklahoma Adds Another TE in Transfer Portal

During the 2024 season, Locke had one reception for 2 yards after catching two passes for 4 yards and a touchdown in 2023. Locke played in three games before redshirting in 2022, and has played in 23 games over the previous two seasons.

Locke’s deal with OU is believed to be as a preferred walk-on.

The Sooners previously added Carson Kent from Kennesaw State and Will Huggins from Pittsburg State from the portal.

Joe Jon Finley’s tight end room has struggled to be consistent the last two seasons as OU’s offense shifted from Jeff Lebby to Seth Littrell to Finley on an interim basis.

First-year offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle utilized opportunities for a number of tight ends at Washington State this season.

OU is now up to 15 additions through the transfer portal after losing 26 players.

Locke entered the portal on Dec. 9.

He reported offers from Southern Utah, Rhode Island, Tennessee Tech, San Diego, Montana, Houston Christian, Sacramento State, New Mexico, Kent State and Richmond.
