Jaydn Ott Transfers to Oklahoma, Boosts Sooners

Jaydn Ott, a standout running back who transferred from Cal to Oklahoma, is expected to be a key addition for the Sooners as they enter their second season in the SEC. Ott had a breakout 2023 season with 1,315 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns before injuries impacted his play. His transfer decision was influenced by Cal's significant staff changes and the chance to join Oklahoma's offense, coordinated by Ben Arbuckle, alongside transfer quarterback John Mateer. Ott has quickly impressed both coaches and teammates in Norman, emerging as a leader while adapting to a new environment. The Sooners hope Ott's dynamic play and restored health will help revive their offense, which struggled in 2024. His move is regarded as one of the most significant transfers in college football this offseason.
