Kendall Wells Bounces Back After Helmet Blow, Finishes Historic Freshman Season

Oklahoma catcher Kendall Wells was hit in the helmet by a pitch during the Norman Super Regional vs. Mississippi State, left briefly, then returned to catch as coach Patty Gasso noted she looked woozy and would be monitored. Wells went 0-for-2 but stayed behind the plate for the rest of the game. She capped a historic freshman season with 39 home runs (NCAA freshman and OU single-season HR records, plus the SEC single-season HR mark), a .358 average and 88 RBIs. With the season over, Oklahoma turns to the transfer portal, which opens June 8 and runs through June 22 for players to declare their intent to explore options.

OU Linebacker Heinecke Secures Court Order to Return for Fifth Season

Oklahoma standout Owen Heinecke won a court injunction from Judge Thad Balkman allowing him to use a fifth year of eligibility and return to the Sooners after challenging the NCAA. The all-day hearing featured support from OU coach Brent Venables and general manager Jim Nagy, who argued that another year would help Heinecke maximize his development and draft stock, while the NCAA pressed questions about playing time and eligibility rules. A key point was Heinecke’s freshman year at Ohio State and COVID-related disruptions; OU cited a newly surfaced NCAA decision in a similar case to bolster his petition. Heinecke testified about his low-recruitment history and desire to cement a legacy at OU, and with the injunction in place, he will get the chance to play another season.

OU's John Mateer shines as Michigan loss highlights quarterback's growth

Michigan Football's 24-13 loss at Oklahoma was marked by struggles across all units, with the offensive line performing poorly, the quarterback avoiding major mistakes but under pressure, and the defense showing moments of pressure but ultimately unable to contain Oklahoma's offense. Key players like Bryce Underwood and the offensive line received low grades, while special teams and linebackers performed relatively better. The game highlighted areas for improvement for Michigan.
