Lincoln Riley Loses Another Oklahoma Star To Transfer

Lincoln Riley lost another Oklahoma star to transfer this week.

On Tuesday, linebacker Levi Draper announced he was joining Arkansas.

A four-star recruit from the 2017 class, Draper initially announced that he was planning on leaving Oklahoma for greener pastures back in January.

Now we know where he is going.

Draper made the big reveal on social media on Tuesday.

“I want to start off by thanking God for the opportunity to play this game,” he said.

“Next, I want to thank Coach Pittman, Coach Rhoades and Coach Odom for the opportunity.

“Last, but not least I want to thank my family, friends and everyone else who shows constant support,” he continued.

“With that being said, I am excited to announce I will be continuing my career at the University of Arkansas.”

Draper was the fifth ranked inside linebacker and second best prospect out of the state of Oklahoma in his class.

It will be interesting to see what sort of impact he ultimately ends up having on Arkansas come next season.
