Oklahoma linebacker Joseph Wete has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, he confirmed Friday. 247Sports and OU insider first reported the news on Wednesday.

OU Insider first reported Aug. 24 that Wete was no longer listed on Oklahoma's online roster, and his No. 22 jersey had been redistributed to tight end Daniel Parker and cornerback C.J. Coldon.

"They're building something amazing in Norman," Wete wrote in a tweet. "Like everyone else, I'm excited about this team. As for me, life happens and so I have to make positive decisions for myself and most importantly for my family." 

Wete was a four-star recruit in the 2019 class and was ranked the No. 1 prospect in Washington D.C., per the 247Sports Composite ratings. He was also ranked the No. 11 weak side defensive end and No. 198 overall player nationally.

The 6-foot-4, 230-pound redshirt junior from Gonzaga College High School played in just 11 games, primarily on special teams, during three seasons with the Sooners.
