The transfer portal doesn't officially open for college softball until June 8, the Monday after the Women's College World Series ends, but the Oklahoma Sooners already have 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 June 22, this will be one stop for OU fans to keep up with it all.

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.
After much consideration, I have decided to enter the transfer portal with 2 years of eligibility left. I will leave Norman with countless memories and a family for life. Thank you to my teammates and coaches, & thank you Sooner nation for 2 amazing seasons❤️

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.
Although incoming talent would have had Berkley get even fewer innings with the Sooners next season, she'll still be a top target for a list of schools as one of the best pitchers in the 2025 class.
Thank you Sooner Nation❤️

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.
