Sexton's Exit: Oklahoma Lineman Joins Transfer Portal

Oklahoma offensive lineman Jacob Sexton has officially entered the transfer portal, as announced on Tuesday. His departure makes him the sixth player to leave the Sooners' program since the conclusion of their season. This move also signifies the second offensive lineman to exit the team, following redshirt freshman Isaiah Dent.

Sexton, a highly-rated recruit upon arrival in Norman, experienced a collegiate career frequently interrupted by injuries. His sophomore season saw him start four games but miss the final four due to an injury. In 2024, he again started but was sidelined after the eighth game, missing the remainder of the season. This year, he began as the starting left tackle but was injured after playing only one game, losing the rest of the season.

The Sooners' offensive line faced considerable challenges during the 2025 season, struggling to establish a consistent running game and protect the quarterback. The team ranked poorly in both rushing yards per game and sacks allowed, highlighting the unit's overall difficulties.
