The Oklahoma Sooners have a potential opportunity to acquire a significant player through the transfer portal ahead of the 2024 season. Keon Sabb, a safety from the Michigan Wolverines, recently entered the portal, presenting a potential addition to Oklahoma’s roster.
Initially committed to the Clemson Tigers under Brent Venables, Sabb opted to decommit and join Michigan after Venables moved to Oklahoma. Despite limited playing time, Sabb has shown promise, notably performing well in the national championship game with six tackles and two pass deflections.
Recognizing his potential, 247Sports included Sabb in their list of players poised for a breakout season in 2024. Despite Sabb’s connection with Venables, Oklahoma faces competition from nearly 20 other schools vying for his talents. Oklahoma is also pursuing Sabb’s brothers, Amari and Xavier.
Although Oklahoma already boasts a strong safety lineup with players like Billy Bowman, Peyton Bowen, and Robert Spears-Jennings, the allure of Sabb’s talent is undeniable. While the extent of Sabb’s interest in Oklahoma remains uncertain, securing him would be a significant coup for one of college football’s more experienced defenses in 2024.
