The saga of junior college defensive lineman Austin Roberts and Oklahoma is going to have a happy ending.

Roberts, a defensive lineman from Miami (Okla.) Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, texted Friday night his transfer/transcript issues have been settled, and he is going to be a Sooner.

Roberts, who was ranked No. 39 in the Scout juco 100 for the 2015 class, chose the Sooners over Nebraska in the end. He committed to OU in June, but everybody knew nothing was going to be final until his transcript issues were put to bed.

He took two summer classes back home in Georgia and earned a B grade in both his history and math classes so he put in the work to get to Norman. Unfortunately, Roberts has already missed the first 10 days of camp as everybody worked toward getting his transcript issues figured out.

The addition of Roberts gives OU another quality pass rusher, and he will have three years to play two seasons’ worth of eligibility.

Roberts originally committed to Alabama out of high school but had to go through the juco route because of his academic status. NEO was his second juco in as many years and was one big reason he did not go back to his SEC roots.

Roberts said if you go to multiple jucos and want to play in the SEC, you have to stay at that second juco for more than a year. In other words, Roberts would have had to reclassify for the 2016 class, which is something he didn’t want to do.

He also holds the distinction as being the first recruit landed by first-year defensive line coach Diron Reynolds. Roberts said earlier this summer Reynolds was a major reason why he wanted to call OU his home.

Roberts visited back in April with teammates Maurice Chandler and Chris Baccus. Chandler, a three-star prospect for 2016, committed to OU in June.
