At 6-foot-4, 192 pounds, Carter is exactly what OU is looking for at the position. Last season, he <a href=\"https:\/\/mcneesesports.com\/sports\/football\/roster\/jer-michael-carter\/10811\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">totaled<\/a> 37 receptions for 537 yards and three touchdowns. From Kentwood High School in Louisiana, Carter was first team All-District 9-1A as a wide receiver in the 2023 class. <\/p>\n<p>Carter was a priority for Oklahoma late in the portal, as it wanted to add depth to its receiver room. OU has now added five receivers through the portal since the end of the 2024 season. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/javonnie-gibson-58204\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Javonnie Gibson<\/a> from Arkansas-Pine Bluff, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/isaiah-sategna-49742\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Isaiah Staegna<\/a> from Arkansas, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/keontez-lewis-73679\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Keontez Lewis<\/a> from Southern Illinois and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/josiah-martin-155856\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Josiah Martin<\/a> from Cal transferred to Oklahoma during the winter cycle. <\/p>\n<p>The Sooners have overhauled their receiver room, after their top five guys got injured last season and five hit the portal in the winter.
