REPORT: Oklahoma Lineman Enters the Transfer Portal
On Thursday afternoon, Oklahoma's Marcus Hicks entered the transfer portal.
The senior defensive lineman from Wichita, was not listed on the Sooners' roster at the beginning of August and didn't play a snap for Oklahoma through the team's 10 games played so far.
Hicks, a 6-foot-6, 302-pound fifth-year senior, came to OU as a 4-star defensive end out of Wichita Northwest High School but switched positions twice during his career with the Sooners. He rotated back-and-forth between the defensive line and the offensive line and never found a true footing on either side of the ball.
He redshirted in 2019 and didn’t play, then missed the 2020 season due to injury. He switched to offensive line and played one game in 2021, then in 2022 played in two games.
Hicks switched back to defensive line for this year's spring practice but wasn't listed on the official roster to start the season.
After spending five years in Norman, Hicks will look for a new home heading into his sixth collegiate year.
