What are the Sooners getting in Jaydn Ott?

6 days ago | oklahoma.rivals.com | Bryan Clinton

On Tuesday evening, Jim Nagy showed the college football world why his addition to the Oklahoma football program was so invaluable. Not only did the Sooners go out and nab the top available running back, but they put the details to bed quickly—something that's proven difficult for the program in recent cycles. Cal running back Jaydn Ott is the No. 60 overall player and the No. 3 running back in the 2025 transfer portal cycle, ranking behind only Makhi Hughes and Justice Haynes.

It didn't take long for Jim Nagy to land his first two big fish out of the portal as Oklahoma's general manager. Moments after Stanford transfer OL Jake Maikkula signed with the Sooners on Tuesday, the program also announced the signing of Cal transfer running back Jaydn Ott. A native of Chino (Calif.), Ott was to be one of the most coveted players in the entire spring portal cycle.

Oklahoma is batting 1.000 with spring transfer visitors after the Sooners added Stanford transfer offensive lineman Jake Maikkula on Tuesday. Maikkula was the first portal visitor of the spring just a couple of weeks ago, and with Oklahoma in need of some help along the interior of the offensive line, he was a priority target. Listed at 6-foot-5 and 295 pounds, Maikkula proved extremely versatile during his three-year stint with the Cardinal.

Porter Moser and the Sooners are expected to add Saint Joseph’s associate head coach Justin Scott as an assistant, filling the vacancy left by Armon Gates, who recently departed for Minnesota. Additionally, the expectation is that Xzayvier Brown, Saint Joseph’s star point guard who just entered the transfer portal, will follow Scott to Norman. Notably, Scott is more than a coach to Brown — he’s also his stepdad.

NORMAN — Patty Gasso knew this would be a challenging week. Beating Oklahoma State on Wednesday, 11-3, was step one. The next part? Getting back on track in SEC play this weekend at Alabama.

NORMAN — It was a scene Oklahoma players and fans have seen plenty of times before. Ella Parker stepped to the plate during last Friday's game against UCF with bases loaded, as the crowd at Love's Field held its collective breath. Like she has 18 other times in her career, Parker made contact and sent the ball over the left field fence for a home run. But as her teammates celebrated with her at home plate, it was clear this was a particularly special home run.

NORMAN — As the Sooners ended their pre-practice stretches on Wednesday, the entire team huddled up in the middle of the practice field. The player in the middle leading that huddle? Offensive lineman Michael Fasusi. The true freshman was tasked by Brent Venables to break down the huddle before individual drills began. Different players are often chosen to break down the huddle, but for Fasusi, it was one of his first opportunities to lead the team. “First of all, it was really fun," Fasusi said.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Things simply looked dire for Oklahoma. The offense wasn't moving the needle through the first two innings after six of eight batters were tired. The Sooners struggled defensively, too, as two errors led directly to two runs for Oklahoma State. In the third inning, Rosie Davis sent a solo home run off of Sam Landry to push the Cowgirls' lead to 3-0. In the blink of an eye, the Sooners turned things around.
