Former Cal running back Jaydn Ott transferring to Oklahoma


Oklahoma landed running back Jaydn Ott on Tuesday, just one day after the former Cal star entered the transfer portal.

Ott, one of the top overall playmakers returning to college football, has produced 3,460 all-purpose yards over the past three seasons, third most among all returning FBS running backs.

Ott, a first-team All-Pac-12 performer in 2023, has one season of eligibility remaining.

He joins an Oklahoma backfield that includes Washington State quarterback transfer John Mateer, who threw for 3,139 yards and 29 touchdowns last season.

The Sooners also announced they are signing former Stanford offensive lineman Jake Maikkula from the transfer portal. Maikkula, who started 11 games last season, has two seasons of eligibility remaining.

Ott is moving on to Oklahoma as a graduate transfer. College football’s spring transfer window officially opens Wednesday and closes April 25.

ESPN’s Max Olson contributed to this report.
