The Oklahoma Sooners have experienced significant turnover at the wide receiver position this offseason. They've added four wideouts: Javonnie Gibson, Keontez Lewis, Isaiah Sategna, and Josiah Martin in the transfer portal.

Carter was a four-star prospect in the 2023 recruiting class and the No. 11 linebacker in the cycle. Out of Tampa Catholic, Carter’s speed and athleticism made him one of the more highly regarded backers in 2023. He had 33 Power Four offers coming out of high school.

Nic Anderson (LSU), Andrel Anthony (Duke), Jalil Farooq (Maryland), JJ Hester (Kentucky), Jaquaize Pettaway (East Carolina) and Brenen Thompson (Mississippi State) all departed the program. It didn't take long for head coach Brent Venables and receivers coach Emmett Jones to get to work finding their replacements.

The portal hasn't been too kind for some teams. One program that has had way more players enter the portal than it has gained from it is the Oklahoma Sooners. According to On3, 26 players from the Sooners' 2024 roster have entered the transfer portal.

Michigan has lost one of its 2024 signees to the transfer portal after one season in Ann Arbor, according to On3's Pete Nakos. Former four-star defensive lineman Owen Wafle has entered his name into the portal.

Illinois is adding to its offensive firepower by adding a playmaking receiver from West Virginia from the college football transfer portal.
