NORMAN, Okla. (KOKH) — OU’s Spencer Rattler has announced his decision to enter into the transfer portal.

Rattler passed for 4,595 yards with Oklahoma and threw for 40 touchdowns against 12 interceptions.

 

Rattler posted this statement: “Sooner Nation, Thank you for allowing me to be a student-athlete at this prestigious institution. Thank you to every teammate and coach these last three seasons,” Rattler said. “At this time, I would like to announce that I have decided to enter the transfer portal to continue my academic and athletic career. Thank you again, Oklahoma. I will miss you.”
