The Oklahoma Sooners have made a significant splash in the transfer portal, securing the commitment of highly touted offensive lineman Derek Simmons from Western Carolina. Simmons, a 6’6″ 325-pound senior, brings a wealth of experience and talent to the Sooners’ front line.
Simmons’ decision to join the Sooners was not a surprise, given the program’s rich history of producing top-notch linemen.
