It appears the Bedlam rivalry has already lost its luster, at least with the players on the field.
Just one day after Oklahoma State star linebacker Kendal Daniels made his commitment to Oklahoma, it appears that another member of that position group could follow a similar path.
According to On3’s Steve Wiltfong, Cowboys’ transfer linebacker Jeff Roberson is visiting the Sooners on Tuesday, per his agent Austin Pfenninger.
A graduate transfer, Roberson just wrapped his redshirt senior season with Oklahoma State and tallied 58 tackles and 3.0 sacks on the year.
A native of Choctaw, Oklahoma, Roberson was a three-star prospect in the class of 2020 and played just four games in his first year in Stillwater. From there however, he became a full-time contributor on special teams and eventually worked himself into the linebacker rotation.
In 2024, Roberson was a starter for the Pokes’ defense, and finished third on the team with 58 tackles (42 solo), 8.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, and an interception.
The transfer portal officially opened on Monday, December 9, 2024, and will remain open until Saturday, December 28, with an exception for players on teams who play bowl games after the window closes. According to NCAA data, 2,273 FBS football players entered the transfer portal in 2023-24 school year, with 1,558 (68.5%) undergraduates and 715 (31.5%) graduate transfers. Of the entrants, 57% reported that they enrolled in another school, 8% withdrew their names from the portal, and 35% are still active, transferred to a non-NCAA school, or left their sport.
