Sooners' Cole Sullivan brings 'great versatility' to Norman
Brent Venables highlights Cole Sullivan's toughness, leadership and ability to contribute on defense and special teams.
The Oklahoma Sooners bolstered their roster by bringing in former Michigan Wolverines linebacker Cole Sullivan via the transfer portal. Sullivan, who posted impressive statistics last season, including 44 tackles, five tackles for loss, and two sacks, has made a name for himself with his versatility, humility, toughness, and strength.
Head coach Brent Venables highlighted Sullivan's ability to do a lot, impact the team both on defense and special teams, and be a great leader. Sullivan's addition fills a gap in the experienced linebacker group, which also includes returning players Kip Lewis and Owen Heinecke. With his skills and potential, Sullivan could contribute to the Sooners' defense, which is expected to be among the best in college football.
His impact may extend beyond his statistics as his versatility and leadership could make him one of the most valuable transfer additions for the Sooners in 2026.
