Oklahoma Sooners

On Tuesday morning, former Oklahoma offensive lineman Cayden Green announced that he will transfer to Missouri.

Green got his first meaningful snaps in the Red River Rivalry, holding up very well against a talented defensive front. After his solid performance against the Longhorns, Green was a regular starter at left guard for OU, showcasing multiple impressive flashes throughout the year. 

Coming out of high school, Green was rated one of the top 100 players and top 10 players at his position in the nation. Originally from Lee's Summit, MO, Green's decision allows him to be closer to home.

Listed at 6-foot-5 and 316 pounds, the former 4-star prospect was the highest-rated recruit Bill Bedenbaugh has ever landed, making his departure even more difficult for the Sooners. 

According to reports from former Oklahoma offensive lineman Gabe Ikard and others, Green began to move his things out of the OU dorms during a Sooners practice.

With Green, Nate Anderson, Aaryn Parks and Savion Byrd all entering the portal, Andrew Raym and Tyler Guyton declaring for the draft, and McKade Mettauer, Walter Rouse and Caleb Shaffer all finishing out their college careers this season, Oklahoma will have to completely rebuild its offensive line heading into the SEC.
