Overview

• David Stone, a former five-star recruit and top-six ESPN 300 player, has officially entered the NCAA transfer portal after one season at Oklahoma.
• Despite being praised by head coach Brent Venables as the team's most improved defensive tackle this spring, Stone reportedly left due to frustrations over limited playing time during his freshman year.
• Stone played in all 13 games in 2024, logging 88 snaps with six tackles, two tackles for loss, and one sack, but was not a significant part of the defensive rotation.
• Early speculation points to the Miami Hurricanes as a potential landing spot, with insiders noting Miami was a close runner-up during Stone's initial recruitment.
• Stone's departure is the latest in a wave of 47 player exits from Oklahoma's roster, intensifying scrutiny on Venables' leadership and the program's culture as it transitions to the SEC.
