The drama surrounding Texas football and the Oklahoma Sooners and the impact it is having on the Big 12 football landscape as a whole is something that can’t seem to stop since the summer. It all started with the news that Texas and Oklahoma would depart from the Big 12 to join the SEC by 2025. That move could come sooner depending on how the legal battles play out in the months and years ahead.

More dominos fell in this constant saga of drama surrounding the Big 12, this time almost solely with the Sooners. And one of the latest major storylines that came about early this week was the news that the former Heisman contender and five-star quarterback Spencer Rattler put his name in the NCAA Transfer Portal.

This all comes as a result of the shocking move over the weekend where the now-former Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley bolted from Norman to join the USC Trojans. Riley will replace the departed Clay Helton as USC’s next head coach. Thus, the Rattler transfer news isn’t all that surprising right now.

Big 12 football landscape continues to change with Spencer Rattler entering the portal

Rattler announced on his Twitter timeline on the late morning of Nov. 29 that he would be transferring from Oklahoma heading into next offseason. After a rocky season for Rattler in Norman that definitely didn’t live up to the hype, he’ll be looking to right the ship elsewhere.

Yet, with all that went down around the Oklahoma program in the last 48 hours, it feels like it almost fell under the radar that Rattler put his name in the transfer portal on Nov. 29. There are so many big things that have happened since the morning of Nov. 28 that Rattler transferring is just one of the dozens of storylines that have emerged around the Big 12 and college football landscapes in the last 48 hours.

Here’s a look into three of the best potential landing spots for Rattler out of the transfer portal heading into next offseason.
