In between signing days, the Oklahoma Sooners football program has seen its wide receiving corps receive a boost in talent. And experience.
Wednesday night, Theo Howard indicated on social media that he will be transferring to Oklahoma and continuing his playing career with the Sooners football team. The announcement comes nearly three months after the receiver decided to transfer from UCLA.
Prior to the OU announcement, Howard had also considered Arizona, Baylor, Oregon State, TCU and Washington.
Howard graduated from UCLA in December, giving him immediate eligibility for the Oklahoma Sooners football program this coming season.
In 2018, Howard earned honorable mention All-Pac-12 honors after catching 51 passes for 677 yards and four touchdowns. Because of a pair of hand injuries that sidelined him for a sizable chunk of 2019, Moore didn’t record a catch this past season for the Bruins. Because he played in fewer than four games, he was able to use a redshirt for the 2019 season.
During his time at UCLA, Howard totaled 1,359 yards and nine touchdowns on 119 receptions. In a loss to OU in September of 2018, Howard caught two passes for 53 yards. He didn’t record a catch in the Bruins’ loss to the Sooners this past September.
