Spencer Rattler is looking to start his college career over after the former Oklahoma Sooners QB flamed out in Norman and was looking to never recover his starting job back after losing it to a true freshman.
Spencer Rattler, the preseason Heisman Trophy favorite who was benched early in the season, announced last week he is entering the NCAA transfer portal.
“Sooner Nation: Thank you for allowing me to be a student-athlete at this prestigious institution,” he wrote, while also thanking teammates and coaches. “We won several games together and made memories that I will cherish forever.”
“Thank you again, Oklahoma,” he concluded. “I will miss you.”
His social media activity seems to show he might end up playing in the Big Ten as users noticed a ton of likes towards the Cornhuskers.

Rattler started all 11 games as a redshirt freshman last season, throwing for 3,031 yards and 28 touchdowns with seven interceptions.
Coming into this season, he was a heavy favorite for the Heisman, which had him following in the footsteps of Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray, who won Heismans under Lincoln Riley.
Rattler was benched for the second straight year during the Sooners’ rivalry game with Texas. Unlike in 2020, he never reentered the game.
Rattler will have three years of eligibility remaining.
