The Oklahoma Sooners have landed a key cog from the Stanford Cardinal through the transfer portal.
One of Stanford’s biggest names who entered the transfer portal has found a new home. On Monday, former Cardinal lineman Luke Baklenko revealed his next destination, posting on his X/Twitter account that he was committing to Oklahoma.Baklenko, who started most of the season at right tackle for Stanford, entered the transfer portal following the season and was among a handful of Stanford stars who decided to leave and pursue other opportunities.
A former three-star recruit, Baklenko’s experience and immense potential shown made him one of the portal’s most coveted linemen and in joining the Sooners in the SEC, it is expected that he will come in and immediately become a consistent part of the rotation. In 2023, Baklenko only allowed 16 quarterback hurries and four sacks in 676 snaps played, proving just how effective he is at pass protection. Historically, Oklahoma has been a very pass-heavy team, which makes the addition of his pass protection abilities extra important.
