Oklahoma adds D’Yoni Hill and Jaydon Southard from transfer portal

Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables added cornerback D’Yoni Hill and linebacker Jaydon Southard to the team roster via the transfer portal. The moves follow the team's season-opening victory as the Sooners prepare for a road game against Michigan. Hill, a former Wisconsin defensive back, brings experience from more than 40 college appearances, while Southard joins from Stephen F. Austin after a high-production career at the FCS level. Both players qualify for this eligibility window because they never signed NFL contracts. The program intends to use the transfers to build depth at the linebacker and secondary positions as the schedule intensifies. The staff plans to integrate both players into the defensive rotation and special teams units throughout the coming weeks.
