Does Brent Venables ever sleep? Maybe not, as in addition to getting ready for the Week 2 showdown in Ann Arbor against Michigan, the Oklahoma head coach is also on his grind on the recruiting trail adding players who can still make a difference this season. Wait, what? That’s exactly the case, as news just broke via Matt Zenitz that the Sooners have landed a transfer commitment from former Wisconsin starting cornerback D’Yoni Hill.
This is a bit of a surprise, but it’s also going to be a welcome addition for the Sooners. Cornerbacks Eli Bowen and Courtland Guillory are locked in as the starters, but depth has been a bit of a concern for Oklahoma. Adding a player of Hill’s caliber sure fixes that problem a bit, and he also may not be the only transfer addition on the way for OU too…
Former Wisconsin and Miami cornerback D’Yoni Hill plans to transfer to Oklahoma, sources tell me and @BrodyLusk247.Hill, whom @GeorgeStoia had previously mentioned as a transfer possibility for OU, was a starter for Wisconsin last season. Started five games for Miami in 2024. pic.twitter.com/2ojnnDCGch

D’Yoni Hill has committed to Oklahoma, and LB Jaydon Southard could be next
In addition to Hill, SoonerScoop’s George Stoia III has also reported that Stephen F. Austin linebacker transfer Jaydon Southard is also receiving strong interest from Oklahoma and Venables, as he is set to get an extra season just like Hill following a TRO that recently came in. So, two new defensive pieces with a ton of experience?…
