Oklahoma Sooners add another transfer portal wide receiver

The Oklahoma Sooners are looking to reload on the offensive side of the ball after a 2024 season that produced their worst offense in the last 25 seasons. Oklahoma found their quarterback in John Mateer and found some help for their wide receiver room with a commitment from Javonnie Gibson.

But that wasn’t all the Sooners did in the transfer portal on Wednesday, as they also earned a commitment from transfer portal wide receiver Keontez Lewis. Lewis was a former three-star prospect who originally signed with UCLA in the 2021 recruiting class. He then spent a couple of seasons on Wisconsin’s roster before playing 2024 with Southern Illinois.

Lewis led the Salukis with 49 receptions for 813 yards and five touchdowns in 2024. Against BYU, he recorded two catches for 49 yards. At Wisconsin in 2022, Gibson played in 13 games and had 20 receptions for 313 yards and three touchdowns.

After Wisconsin hired Luke Fickell away from Cincinnati, Lewis fell down the depth chartand played in just one game in 2023 before entering the transfer portal in September of that season.

Like Gibson, Lewis brings good size to the Sooners wide receiver room, standing 6-foot-2 and weighing 190 pounds.

Lewis joins a wide receiver group that includes a returning Deion Burks and Jayden Gibson and a group of talented former four-star prospects Zion Kearney, Zion Ragins, and Ivan Carreon, walk-on standout Jacob Jordan, as well as true freshmen Elijah Thomas and Emmanuel Choice.
