For the first time since 2020, coach Patty Gasso and the Oklahoma softball team head into the offseason without the crown of defending Women’s College World Series champions.
OU’s pursuit of a fifth consecutive NCAA title came to an end with a thrilling run to the WCWS semifinals.
Thanks to a strong group of returning underclassmen, shaping the Sooners’ 2026 roster looks more manageable compared to last year.
Here’s a look at OU’s activity in the transfer portal:
