The move was first reported by USA TODAY.
Knight will be a graduate transfer and eligible to play immediately. He was given a full release by coach Bob Stoops Dec. 11.
Texas A&M's two recent five-star quarterbacks, Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray, transferred last month. Murray announced OU as his landing spot Christmas Eve, but won't be eligible to play until 2017.
In three seasons with the Sooners, Knight saw action in 24 games, 15 of which were starts. Knight led OU over then-No. 3 Alabama in the 2014 Sugar Bowl and was slated to be a Heisman candidate in 2014 before a disappointing season.
Knight first turned heads during Oklahoma's preparation for the 2013 Cotton Bowl, when he portrayed mobile Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel on the scout team. He went on to earn the starting job to begin the next season over Blake Bell.
Before the 2015 season, however, Knight was beaten out by Baker Mayfield for the starting job. He played in six games, accruing 305 passing yards and two touchdowns.
Knight will finish with 3,424 passing yards, 25 touchdowns and 19 interceptions at OU. He added 853 yards and eight touchdowns rushing.
According to the first report of Knight's transfer, he considered Auburn, LSU and Kansas State, as well.
