Former Nebraska, Texas, FAU QB Casey Thompson Transfers to Oklahoma for 7th Season

Quarterback Casey Thompson has committed to Oklahoma after transferring from FAU, per ESPN's Dave Wilson.

The move to Oklahoma will be Thompson's fourth school in seven seasons. He played at Texas, Nebraska and most recently, FAU. He was a graduate student at FAU last year, but his season was cut short as he tore his ACL after playing just three games. Following the injury, Thompson was granted a medical hardship waiver to play one more year.

In his career, Thompson has recorded 5,338 passing yards, 52 touchdowns and 24 interceptions. He's also picked 191 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground. Last year in his few games for the Owls, he notched 509 yards, five touchdowns and five interceptions.

As a transfer prospect, Thompson is considered to be a 3-star and the No. 61 quarterback in the portal by 247Sports composite. He joins an Oklahoma offense that recently lost quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who is heading to Oregon.

Thompson, the son of former Oklahoma quarterback Charles Thompson, will be making a return to his home state next season. He will also become the third player in modern history to be on both sides of the Red River Rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma.

Thompson, who is 26 years old, had his best season in 2022 when he played for Nebraska, recording 2,407 yards, 17 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 10 games. While he has shown flashes in his years, turnovers have been an issue for the veteran.

This year for Oklahoma, he'll be looking to earn a starting spot and end his collegiate career on a positive note.
