Oklahoma has been actively engaging with the NCAA transfer portal this spring and summer, continuously updating their roster as the 2024-2025 season approaches.

Recently, it was reported that JUCO transfer Jeff Nwankwo of the Oklahoma basketball team suffered a torn Achilles’ during summer workouts and has already undergone surgery, ruling him out for the upcoming season.

To fill the void left by Nwankwo, the Sooners added St. John’s forward Glenn Taylor Jr. on Monday. Taylor, a 6-foot-6 rising senior from Las Vegas, averaged 4.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game this season for the Red Storm. He started his career at Oregon State, playing his first two seasons there.

Taylor is known for his defensive skills, being able to guard multiple positions on the perimeter. He’s also an effective three-point shooter, with a 45 percent field goal percentage and 42 percent from beyond the arc.

Taylor embodies the ideal three-and-D wing, showcasing great athleticism and the ability to drive to the basket, shooting 46% at the rim last season. His 10% assist rate highlights his playmaking abilities, often making the extra pass and fitting seamlessly into any offense without being the primary ballhandler.

Taylor is the seventh transfer portal addition for the Sooners this offseason. With this latest addition, Oklahoma’s roster for the 2024-2025 season is complete, and they are set to embark on their inaugural season in the SEC.
