Nagy was hired in February to build an NFL-style front office in Norman. Thus far, he’s been hard at work evaluating OU’s roster and building out his operation. But with the spring transfer portal window now open, Venables and Nagy can begin collaborating to put the final touches on the Sooners’ 2025 roster.

But the spring portal window will also represent the start of a new era in Norman. It’s the first time Venables will be able to make additions with new general manager Jim Nagy, who was hired in February.

A third Sooner is reportedly set to enter the transfer portal this spring. Running back Sam Franklin will leave Oklahoma after one season, On3’s Hayes Fawcett reported on Tuesday. Franklin arrived in Norman last year from UT Martin, but he failed to make an impact. He carried the ball just 18 times for 132 yards in 2024. He also caught five catches for 18 yards. Franklin returned six kickoffs for 133 yards as well.
