Cal running back Jaydn Ott has transferred to Oklahoma, the Sooners’ football program announced Tuesday.
The spring transfer window officially opens Wednesday, but Oklahoma did not wait to announce the additions of Ott and Stanford offensive lineman Jake Maikkula.
It was first reported Monday that Ott would enter the transfer portal, months after he told his fans he was “not leaving” Cal in a social media post.
Ott captured All-Pac-12 first-team recognition in 2023, when he topped the soon-to-be-altered conference in rushing yards (1,315) and second in rushing touchdowns (12) on 245 carries. He added 169 yards and two TDs on 25 receptions.
Ott was slowed in the 2024 season by an ankle injury he sustained in the opener. He managed just 385 yards and four scores on 116 carries. He also made 24 receptions for 222 yards and a TD.
Maikkula made 11 starts at multiple positions across the Stanford offensive line in 2024 and had five starts at guard in 2023.
Oklahoma is trying to bounce back from a 6-7 campaign in 2024 and previously added top transfer quarterback John Mateer from Washington State.
