Florida redshirt junior tight end Hayden Hansen is set to transfer to OU, according to On3's Hayes Fawcett.

The 6-foot-8 tight end grew up in Weatherford, Texas, before recording 611 receiving yards and five touchdowns in three years as a Gator. He put up 254 receiving yards and two touchdowns in 2025.

Hansen's decision comes as the Sooners are without a tight end coach after parting ways with Joe Jon Finley.
