The Oklahoma Sooners lost another player to the transfer portal. According to Tom Green of Sooners Illustrated and 247Sports, former three-star defensive lineman Ashton Sanders is in the transfer portal.
Sanders was a late addition in the 2023 recruiting class out of Southern California. Though he saw some playing time early in 2024, the Sooners defensive line depth made it difficult to get Sanders on the field.
According to Pro Football Focus, Sanders saw just 45 snaps in two seasons with the Sooners. In 2024, Sanders recorded one tackle for loss and a half sack.
Coming out of high school, Sanders had offers from Oklahoma, Cal, Arizona State, Wisconsin, Colorado, Kansas, Maryland, Notre Dame, and Utah.
The Oklahoma Sooners are deep at defensive tackle heading into 2025. Damonic Williams hasn’t decided if he’s going to return for one more season with the Sooners. But the Sooners will likely have Gracen Halton, Jayden Jackson, David Stone, Markus Strong, and incoming defensive tackle Trent Wilson available for their defensive line rotation.
