WR Williams latest Sooner to hit transfer portal
Oklahoma freshman wide receiver Mario Williams has entered the transfer portal, becoming the fourth of the Sooners' top five receivers opting not to return next season.
Oklahoma Sooners freshman wide receiver Mario Williams announced Tuesday that he is planning to enter the transfer portal.
Williams was the No. 17-ranked recruit in the 2021 class, the No. 1 wide receiver and the second-highest-ranked commit for the Sooners.
Despite having other receivers ahead of him on the roster, Williams was fourth on the team in receiving yards with 380, and he also hauled in four touchdown passes on the season. Williams had five kick returns for 108 yards, as well.
His best game of the season came in a 52-21 victory over Texas Tech on Oct. 30, when he had 100 yards and a touchdown on five receptions.
Williams' decision to enter the transfer portal is a big blow to the offense for new coach Brent Venables. Williams was a talented receiver for the Sooners, but his decision to leave means four of the top five wideouts on the roster won't be back for the 2022 season.
Mike Woods and Jeremiah Hall both declared for the NFL draft on Tuesday, Jadon Haselwood transferred to Arkansas in December, and now Williams is gone as well. That leaves Marvin Mims, the team's leading receiver, as the only player in the top five who will be back.
Starting quarterback Caleb Williams also announced he would be entering the transfer portal on Monday. Williams threw for 1,912 yards and 21 touchdowns after replacing then-starter Spencer Rattler, who also transferred out of Oklahoma to South Carolina.
Venables and the new staff did get a commitment from UCF quarterback transfer Dillon Gabriel on Monday, and the coaches signed ESPN 300 quarterback Nick Evers in the 2022 class.
Dart latest USC QB to enter NCAA transfer portal
Jaxson Dart is the second prominent USC quarterback to enter the portal since Lincoln Riley became coach, as sources say the Trojans are among the top programs being considered by QB Caleb Williams, who played for Riley at OU and is also in the portal.
USC quarterback Jaxson Dart entered the NCAA's transfer portal on Monday.
Dart, who enrolled at USC in January 2021, appeared in six games for the Trojans, passing for 1,353 yards with nine touchdowns and five interceptions. He is the second prominent USC quarterback to enter the portal since the school hired coach Lincoln Riley, as multiyear starter Kedon Slovis transferred to Pitt last month.
The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Dart missed time this season after sustaining a torn meniscus Sept. 18 against Washington State. He underwent surgery and returned Oct. 30 against Arizona. Dart started three games for USC.
ESPN rated Dart, a native of Draper, Utah, as the No. 2 pocket passer and No. 19 overall prospect in the 2021 recruiting class.
Sources say USC is among the top schools being considered by Oklahoma quarterback Caleb Williams, who played for Riley in 2021. Williams entered the transfer portal last week.
Looks like the last season's starter sees the writing on the wall.
Does this confirm Caleb going to LA?

How crazy is this? All accomplished in 1 year. Amazing coaching job.
USC joins Georgia, Michigan, TCU in CFP's latest top four (espn.com)
Georgia, Michigan, TCU and USC are all poised to make the College Football Playoff with wins in their conference championship games this weekend after the selection committee unveiled its penultimate rankings Tuesday.
There was no change at the top, as Georgia (12-0) remained No. 1. But after Michigan (12-0) beat Ohio State 45-23 last Saturday, the Wolverines jumped one spot to No. 2. TCU (12-0) stayed at No. 3, and USC (11-1) made its first appearance in the top four after the Buckeyes and LSU lost.
"A lot of conversations about the top four," CFP committee chair Boo Corrigan, the athletic director at NC State, said on ESPN's rankings release show. "We didn't see any reason to move Georgia out of the top spot."
Ohio State dropped to No. 5, and now must hope for upsets and chaos in the upcoming title games to potentially get an opportunity to make it back into the playoff mix. But much of that will depend on not only the results, but how the committee would view an undefeated team that loses in the conference title game, since Ohio State will not be playing an extra game. Alabama landed just behind the Buckeyes at No. 6.
"It was a tough decision," Corrigan said regarding the call to put Ohio State ahead of Alabama. "There's four teams in front of them, and there's plenty of games that still need to be played this weekend."
Conference championship weekend could provide little drama if the top four teams win. It all begins on Friday night when No. 11 Utah (9-3) and USC play in the Pac-12 championship game in Las Vegas. Utah handed USC its only loss of the season in October, 43-42, when quarterback Cam Rising ran for a 1-yard touchdown, and successfully converted the 2-point conversion attempt with 48 seconds left.
On Saturday, Georgia plays No. 14 LSU (9-3) in the SEC championship game; TCU plays No. 10 Kansas State (9-3) in the Big 12 championship game and Michigan plays Purdue (8-4) in the Big Ten championship game. The top 4 CFP teams are favored to win.
If one or more teams lose, the committee might have tougher decisions to make. But consider this: Beyond the Top 5, every other ranked team has two or more losses, and no two-loss team has ever made the College Football Playoff.
"College football always delivers," Corrigan said when previewing the weekend. "As a group, we're excited to have the opportunity to get together and watch these games. We look forward to evaluating all of it."
The highest ranked among the two-loss teams is Alabama, followed by Tennessee at No. 7. Penn State at No. 8, Clemson at No. 9 and Kansas State at No. 10 round out the Top 10. Clemson plays No. 23 North Carolina (9-3) in the ACC championship game on Saturday as well, but after the Tigers lost to South Carolina 31-30 last Saturday, they were essentially eliminated from playoff contention.
That win over Clemson helped South Carolina (8-4) go from unranked to the No. 19 spot this week. In addition to beating Clemson, the Gamecocks beat Tennessee 63-38 the previous week -- becoming the first unranked team to win consecutive games against AP Top-10 opponents since Auburn in 2003.
Tulane (10-2) is just ahead of South Carolina at No. 18 and hosts No. 22 UCF (9-3) on Saturday in the American Athletic Conference championship game. The winner would almost assuredly be the highest ranked Group of 5 team, and earn a spot in a New Year's Six game.
The final rankings will be released on Sunday, followed by bowl announcements for the teams who don't make it.
