Oklahoma’s quarterback landscape witnessed a significant development as Davis Beville, the quarterback who was recently designated as the backup in the depth chart for the upcoming Alamo Bowl on December 28, has made the decision to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal. This revelation emerged shortly after the release of the depth chart, adding a layer of uncertainty to Beville’s participation in the bowl game against Arizona. The information, as reported by On3’s Pete Nakos, a specialist in covering College Sports Business and the Transfer Portal, disclosed that Oklahoma quarterback Davis Beville has officially entered the transfer portal.
The timing of this decision raises questions about Beville’s potential involvement in the Alamo Bowl, especially since he was designated as the backup for freshman Jackson Arnold just 45 minutes before Nakos broke the news. The depth chart further indicates that walk-on General Booty is listed as the third-string quarterback for the Sooners. Within the context of the team’s current quarterback lineup, Dillon Gabriel holds the starting position for the 12th-ranked Sooners, boasting a record of 10-2, while Arnold assumes the backup role.
Beville’s on-field contributions during the season were limited, having played in only two games and taking seven offensive snaps. His season took an unexpected turn when he suffered a leg injury in the late stages of the Sooners’ dominant 73-0 victory over Arkansas State. Despite the setback, Beville made a return to action in a subsequent game, contributing to a 59-20 triumph over West Virginia.
As the quarterback situation at Oklahoma experiences a shake-up with Beville’s entry into the transfer portal, the outcome of his decision and its potential impact on the Alamo Bowl remain uncertain. The dynamics of the quarterback roster and its implications for the team’s performance will likely become clearer as developments unfold in the coming days.
