Oklahoma football witnessed some 2024 Sooners add to the transfer portal Thursday. OU and head coach Brent Venables lost not one, but three different players to portal entries all in a matter of minutes.
Wide receiver Brenen Thompson emerged as the first entry out of Norman, per 247Sports transfer portal reporter Chris Hummer at 12:39 p.m. PT. Quarterback Brendan Zurbrugg followed next in under three minutes, with 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz reporting the move at 12:41 p.m. PT.
But they weren’t the last portal entries. Linebacker Phil Picciotti dipped into the portal 40 minutes after Zurbrugg’s decision, via Hayes Fawcett of on3.com. Picciotti represented the lone defensive portal addition.
Still, OU became one of the few teams to lose three different players to the portal in less than an hour’s time. All three are making their decision following the Sooners’ 6-6 campaign under Venables.
Thompson will be looking for his third different college. He even started his career with a primary rival of the Sooners.
