Oklahoma wide receiver Nic Anderson plans to enter the transfer portal when it officially opens on Monday, several reports said Thursday.
The 6-foot-4 Texas native hauled in 38 receptions for 798 yards and 10 touchdowns during the 2023 season. Then he missed nearly the entire 2024 season due to a nagging quad injury.
His 10 scores broke the Sooners’ freshman touchdown record.
Players around Division I have begun declaring their intention to enter the portal, which is officially open between Monday and Dec. 28. That includes Oklahoma quarterback Jackson Arnold (1,421 passing yards, 12 touchdowns, three interceptions in 2024), a former five-star who was reported Wednesday to be jumping into the portal.
–Kentucky wide receiver Barion Brown announced that he plans to enter the transfer portal.
A preseason first-team All-American, Brown was held to just 29 receptions for 361 yards and three TD catches in his third season in Lexington, all representing career lows.
In 37 games, he has racked up 122 catches for 1,528 yards, 11 receiving TDs, two rushing scores and five kick return touchdowns.

He has 72 catches for 807 yards and eight TDs in 40 career games.

For his career, Daniels has amassed 3,986 passing yards, 21 TDs, 20 picks, 1,117 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns.
–Quarterback E.J. Warner, the son of Kurt Warner, announced he will transfer from Rice after the program fired coach Mike Bloomgren earlier this season. New head coach Scott Abell is known for running a spread triple-option offense.
