The transfer portal continues to grind. Wednesday Central Florida running back Bentavious Thompson announced via Twitter that he had ended his time in the NCAA transfer portal by committing to Oklahoma.

At UCF Thompson saw action in more than 30 games, rushed for over 1,000 yards and scored 13 touchdowns. In 2019, Thompson was the Knight's third-leading rusher with 604 yards on 87 attempts for a 6.9-yard average per carry and eight rushing touchdowns, tops on the squad.

The 6-foot-1, 197-pound Thompson reunites with Sooners quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who also transferred from UCF to Oklahoma earlier this year.
