Oklahoma is losing some depth at quarterback this offseason.

Backup quarterback Micah Bowens has entered the transfer portal, he announced on Tuesday afternoon:

 

“The hardest part about this decision is leaving from a place and from people that have meant so much to me and impacted my life so greatly,” Bowens wrote in-part. “All I could ever ask for is a place where I can compete and add value on and off the field and after many long nights and conversations between God, my loved ones and myself, I have decided that the best decision for me to reach my dreams would be to enter the transfer portal with 3 years of eligibility. Thank you Sooner Nation.”

Bowens spent the past 2 seasons with the Sooners, but did not play. He began his collegiate career at Penn State prior to the 2019 season.

Bowens says he will have 3 years of eligibility remaining at his next program. He’s a former 3-star recruit from Las Vegas, Nevada.

Oklahoma is still expected to have plenty of depth at QB in 2023. Starter Dillon Gabriel is returning for next season and the Sooners have signed 5-star QB Jackson Arnold in the class of 2023.
