Former University of California, Berkeley running back Jadyn Ott is set to transfer to Oklahoma.

The 6-foot, 205-pound rusher earned an All-Pac-12 selection in 2023 after leading the conference with 1,315 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. Ott has also recorded 3,460 all-purpose yards over the past three seasons, third most among all FBS backs who are returning in 2025.

Ott will work to shift Oklahoma's offensive momentum after it was ranked 203rd nationally in total yards per game (331.o) in 2024.
