The college football transfer portal is heating up, and few programs are making waves quite like the Oklahoma Sooners. The buzz is building rapidly in Norman,

as Brent Venables and his staff have reportedly emerged as the leading contenders to land not just one, but two elite wide receiver talents: Micah Hudson from Texas Tech and Kevin Concepcion from NC State.

 

Landing either of these high-impact receivers would be a win for any Power Five program. But pulling in both would be a seismic recruiting victory—one that could shift the balance of power in the new-look SEC. For Brent Venables, who is entering a critical stretch of his head coaching tenure at Oklahoma, this moment could signal a new era of dominance for the Sooners’ offense.

 

Micah Hudson, a former five-star recruit, was one of the most hyped playmakers in the country coming out of high school. Though his freshman year at Texas Tech was relatively quiet, his raw speed, route-running precision, and explosive ability in space make him one of the most coveted players in the portal. With the right scheme, Hudson could blossom into a top-tier collegiate receiver—and Oklahoma believes it has that scheme.

 

On the other side is Kevin Concepcion, who led NC State in receiving in 2023 and 2024. Known for his toughness, consistent hands, and high football IQ, Concepcion racked up over 1,200 yards and double-digit touchdowns across two seasons. His proven production at the Power Five level makes him a near plug-and-play star for any team fortunate enough to land him.

 

If Venables can bring both Hudson and Concepcion into the fold, it may mark the most impactful portal haul of the offseason. Combined with an already strong recruiting class and a talented quarterback room, Oklahoma would be poised to field one of the most dangerous offenses in the SEC.

 

For Venables, long respected for his defensive acumen, this could be the signature offensive move that elevates him from a rebuilder to a contender. Baton Rouge, Tuscaloosa, and Athens might need to take notice—because Norman is rising fast.
