The Oklahoma State football team lost some depth and experience on the interior of its defensive line with Justin Kirkland's departure.

The spring transfer portal window is finally open, allowing college football programs one final stretch to bolster their roster for 2025. Like most head coaches across the country, Oklahoma’s Brent Venables will be on the hunt to find a few final pieces to put his roster over the edge.

Sawchuk is the second Sooners running back to enter the transfer portal since it re-opened after spring practices. Sam Franklin, who transferred in from Tennessee-Martin during the 2024 cycle, played just one season for OU, running for 132 yards on 18 carries.
