5. GEIREAN HATCHETT, Oklahoma
Oklahoma State is losing a number of key offensive linemen starting in 2023 — Green and Savion Bird are arguably the leading ones — whether to the NFL or the portal, so it’s a big deal for the coach. important Brent Venablesposition coach Bill Bedenbaugh and staff loaded on recruitment and portal sites.
Doing so is especially important as the Sooners focus on getting bigger and stronger in their transition to the SEC. Hatchett was hampered by injuries last season, but the four-star prospect has the talent and experience to come out of Washington, so he could be a significant addition.

8. Tyler Johnson, Colorado
Johnson, a Rivals250 top-100 prospect in 2019, originally signed with Texas. He’s coming to Colorado from Houston after playing in more than 700 games last season.
Buffalo has retooled their roster again, adding more than 40 goalkeepers, but the nine new players on the offensive line are the most important because Colorado basically gave up running the ball last season.
Quarterback Shedeur Sanders took too many hits and the Buffs couldn’t run the game, so an addition like Johnson is huge.
