Oklahoma Sooners

The NCAA Transfer Portal is open again, and an Oklahoma defensive lineman is on the move.

Kori Roberson, a fifth-year senior from Manvel High School in Houston, announced via Twitter on Sunday night that he’s looking for greener pastures.

“I will forever be a Sooner,” he said in the Tweet, “and have that OU DNA running through my veins.”

The 6-foot-3, 297-pound Roberson played in 26 games as a Sooner from 2019-22, with four starts in 2020, but did not see the field in 2022.

For More Kori Roberson:

Roberson was a 3-star defensive tackle prospect, according to the 247 Sports Composite Rankings.

Roberson made headlines this spring when his Norman home was destroyed by a tornado and teammates, coaches and support staffers rallied to his aid.

“I sincerely want to thank the University of Oklahoma, the Oklahoma football program, my brothers, Sooner Nation and the entire Norman community for making these four years the best experience ever.”
