Sooners Add Third Offensive Lineman of Transfer Portal Class

Georgia Tech freshman offensive lineman Peyton Joseph, who was discussed as a visitor earlier this week, announced his commitment to the Oklahoma Sooners on X Saturday after his visit to Norman Friday.

Joseph appeared in six contests for the Yellow Jackets this season and was listed as a backup option on the Georgia Tech depth chart at both left tackle and left guard throughout the season. He entered the transfer portal on January 2.  He was a four-star recruit out of Houston County High School in Fort Valley, Georgia. Joeseph’s offensive line coach, Geep Wade, accepted the same position with the University of Nebraska earlier this offseason.

Joseph committed to Florida State in June 2024 before decommitting in December of the same year and flipping his commitment the same day, December 1, 2024, to Georgia Tech. That came weeks after the Seminoles fired offensive coordinator and line coach Alex Atkins on November 10, 2024.

Joseph is the third offensive lineman to join the Sooners 2026 transfer portal class alongside center Caleb Nitta of Western Kentucky and tackle E'Marion Harris from Arkansas. The Sooner offensive line returns regular starters in soon to be sophomores Michael Fasusi, Ryan Fodje, and along with Eddy Pierre-Louis who will be a redshirt-sophomore in 2026. Redshirt-junior Jake Maikkula saw starts at center but suffered an illness that held him out of contests late in the year.
