On Tuesday evening, Jim Nagy showed the college football world why his addition to the Oklahoma football program was so invaluable.

Not only did the Sooners go out and nab the top available running back, but they put the details to bed quickly—something that's proven difficult for the program in recent cycles.

Cal running back Jaydn Ott is the No. 60 overall player and the No. 3 running back in the 2025 transfer portal cycle, ranking behind only Makhi Hughes and Justice Haynes.

There's an argument to be made that the Sooners' newest offensive addition might have the highest ceiling of the ball carriers in this transfer class, especially if he recaptures his success prior to an ankle injury in 2024.
