Williams signed with Oklahoma in the class of 2021. He was the No. 1 receiver according to the rankings. In 12 games, Williams had 35 catches,380 yards and 4 touchdown.

He entered the transfer portal a day after freshman quarterback Caleb Williams announced his intention to transfer from Oklahoma.

While his family was in Los Angeles, Williams visited USC and UCLA, but he has not yet announced his next destination.

The Williams brothers are among Oklahoma players who have decided to transfer. Spencer Rattler, Austin Stogner, and Jadon Haselwood are among those who transferred to South Carolina.

Venables brought in Gabriel to help fill the void at quarterback. Williams, as well as Washington receiver and offensive lineman Bobby Haskins, have been added by Riley.

Riley has seen quarterbacks leave the program. If he followed his former teammate, he could fill that void.
