Why would Freeman enter the portal?
- Thread starter Patriotgame
- Start date
Processed (we’re still 2-3 above the 85) & he wasn’t going to get much playing time at all. To say it’s pretty deep in that room would be an understatement:
Gibson
Farooq
Anderson
Anthony
Burks
Kearney
Hester
Thompson
Pettaway
Carreon
& that’s not even including the 5-6 TE’s in that room that you know will be split out wide at times.
I would imagine that he could be a player outside of the Power 5, errr, Power 4? And I suspect he can find a little, very little, NIL money someone. But not at OU. He was great against the worst team on OUr schedule that we beat 73-0. But against a team with a heartbeat, he was a non-factor in 12 games.
That's why he left.

Nail on the head Plaino!! There simply was not room for him.
Another incoming freshman, Zion Ragins, could be in the mix. He’s 5’8” 155 lbs with great speed. His videos are impressive.
No question. His problem is that there are about five or six guys who are "very good" in that position group now. Also, he had a couple of highlight reel punt returns a couple of years ago, but it seems like last year the only highlights he had were muffed punts.
He was put on ‘ship last year:

OU coach Brent Venables awarded sophomore walk-on wide receiver Gavin Freeman on Friday by putting him on scholarship.
I won't speak negatively of the young man for who he is as a person because I don't know, but as a football player at the level of Oklahoma, he wasn't close to good enough. Maybe he'd have eventually rose to Drake Stoops levels but he was buried by to much talent.
Smart move on his part. He took a chance coming to OU, but its not easy to get on the field. Now he can have "played at OU" on his resume as he looks elsewhere.
Gone to little brother?
