After four seasons in Oklahoma, defensive lineman Reggie Grimes will be moving on.

The senior entered the NCAA Transfer Portal on Monday, per On3. Grimes, along with redshirt sophomore offensive lineman Savion Byrd and senior defensive back Key Lawrence reportedly all entered the portal in the span of 20 minutes. 

After starting 15 games from 2020-2022, Grimes appeared in four contests in 2023 and finished with two total tackles. He finishes his Oklahoma career with 43 tackles and seven and a half sacks.

Grimes was a four-star recruit out of Ravenwood High School in the 2020 recruiting class and ranked as the No. 13 weak side defensive end nationally, per 247Sports' composite rankings.
