Tracking every player Oklahoma softball loses and gains from the transfer portal

The transfer portal is officially open, and the Oklahoma Sooners already had players on the way out just days after falling short in Super Regionals. However, even though the portal has already taken, it will also eventually give back.

There's already worry around Sooner Nation that OU will lose more players than fans are used to, but head coach Patty Gasso will also be sure to bring in big-time talent with the Sooners still being the standard of college softball, no matter how many zeroes Texas Tech wants to put behind each NIL offer.

No matter how chaotic things get between now and when the portal closes on Monday, this will be one stop for OU fans to keep up with it all, even as the Sooners are still able to make additions after the portal closes.

Every OU player entering the transfer portal

To the surprise of absolutely no one, sophomore utility Tia Milloy was the Sooners' first portal loss after she announced her decision just a day after OU's season ended.

Milloy was used mostly as a pinch runner down the stretch while eventually getting buried on the depth chart this season. She started the season opener as the designated player, but then logged only four more starts against lesser nonconference competition the rest of the way while appearing in 41 games and getting 34 at-bats this season. As a freshman, she appeared in 50 games with 11 starts and 54 at-bats, so that dip in playing time with more young talent on the rise led most to believe Milloy would head elsewhere for more opportunity.

Freshman right-handed pitcher Berkley Zache and her sister, Riley, both announced via social media on Sunday their plans to transfer together. Although younger, Berkley made the most impact in 2026 while making 14 appearances in the circle as a relief pitcher. She logged a 2.28 ERA with a win, five earned runs and 14 strikeouts in 15.1 innings.

The sisters ultimately decided to return home and still play together for in-state Michigan, where Berkley could take over as the Wolverines' ace.

After appearing in nine games as a freshman in 2025, Riley Zache didn't see the field this season while redshirting. With Riley listed as a catcher and infielder, there's just too much young talent at those spots for her to get much time at OU, so a transfer was inevitable for a young player who can actually make an impact somewhere else.

On the first day the portal was officially open, outfielder Kasidi Pickering became the Sooners' biggest transfer loss so far. It was still no surprise, though, as fans expected Pickering to not only enter the portal, but head to Texas Tech for her final season, which she inevitably did.

Pickering leaves OU with 182 starts under her belt. She was a NFCA First Team All-American and First Team All-SEC in 2025 as a sophomore.

Every transfer committed to Sooners

Macie Harter, a sophomore outfielder from Middle Tennessee State, was the first of three transfers to announce their OU commitments within moments of each other. She just put together her best season with a .346 batting average, seven home runs, 23 RBI, 41 runs scored and 19 stolen bases in 46 starts. Even with Kasidi Pickering opening up a spot in the outfield, Harter will likely be a depth piece.

Adi Hansen will make a monstrous jump from College of Southern Idaho to Oklahoma, but speed is speed. She was a NJCAA First Team All-America selection after batting .457 with 82 runs, 21 RBI and an eye-popping 62 stolen bases, which was a school record. Even if Hansen doesn't crack the starting lineup at outfield, she'll still be a valuable asset as a pinch runner in crucial situations.

With star freshman Kendall Wells as the only returning catcher left on the roster, Abbie Gregus was brought in to back her up. Fans questioned the move because of Gregus' lackluster .195 average with one home run, but she shines the brightest behind the plate because of her defense. It's also hard to lure in stellar talent when they already know they'll be on the bench.
