Norman, Oklahoma – One of Oklahoma’s two wagon-pulling equines has hit the transfer portal, leaving the first-year SEC school’s mascot lineup desperately thin going into 2025.
“It’s a shock. We didn’t see this coming, if we’re being honest,” said Brent Venables at Tuesday’s media availability. For the Sooners, it’s just one more in a long list of departures since the transfer portal opened this week.
Boomer wasn’t reachable at press time, but SMU is thought to be his top target. As for Oklahoma, they’ll be looking to the very same transfer portal to beef up the stable going into 2025.
“We’ve got our eyes on some guys that we think can contribute next year. There’s a ranch outside of town with some Shetlands that we’re pretty excited about, and there’s some donkeys we’ve got targeted right now as well. With the right nutrition, with the right offseason weight program, we see potential for development with any one of those guys. We’ll be in a much better position going into next year,” Venables concluded.
