Oklahoma quarterback Caleb Williams says he is entering his name in the transfer portal so he can speak with other schools. The freshman added he had not ruled out staying with the Sooners. But within hours of Williams’ announcement, Oklahoma might have found his replacement. Former UCF quarterback Dillon Gabriel says he is instead planning to go to Oklahoma. Gabriel had committed to transfer to UCLA last month. Williams is a former five-star recruit from Washington, D.C., who was recruited to Oklahoma by then-head coach Lincoln Riley. Riley left Oklahoma to become Southern California’s coach after the Sooners finished their regular season.
