Gavin Freeman, an Oklahoma native, will stay in-state to continue his college career. After Freeman entered the portal early last week, he wasted no time landing on his feet. He committed to Mike Gundy and the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Sunday morning.
Freeman fulfilled his dream by playing football for the University of Oklahoma, just as his father, Jason Freeman, did. Still, with the Sooners looking to gear up for the SEC and adding an NFL-caliber slot receiver in Deion Burks, the sophomore saw his snaps and opportunities diminishing and opted to seek out opportunities elsewhere.

Out of Heritage Hall, he turned down scholarship offers to a few schools to walk on in Norman. Freeman made an immediate impact, scoring on his first collegiate touch against UTEP. He logged snaps in every game over the last two years as a slot receiver and Oklahoma’s primary punt returner. This past season, he caught 19 passes for 95 yards and a touchdown. He also returned 18 punts for 122 yards, one of which was returned for a score in Oklahoma’s 73-0 rout of Arkansas State.
Freeman will head to Stillwater with two years of eligibility left.
