Oklahoma left-handed pitcher Cameron Johnson has entered the NCAA transfer portal after spending the past two seasons with the Sooners.

Johnson began his collegiate career at LSU before transferring to Oklahoma prior to the 2025 season. Per Yahoo Sports:
quote:

Johnson was listed as a junior during the 2026 season. LSU is actually where his playing days began at the collegiate level, only spending one year in Baton Rouge. Oklahoma snagged Johnson out of the portal ahead of the '25 campaign, only to find a good amount of success.

After going between starting and the bullpen, Johnson was a full-time starter in 2026. In 15 appearances, seven decisions were attached to his name. Johnson finished with six wins, only losing once. Johnson pitched 53.2 innings, finishing with an ERA of 4.36. Opposing batters had an average of just .205 against him, while striking out 72 times and drawing a walk on just 43 occasions.

"striking out 72 times and drawing a walk on just 43 occasions." They act like 43 walks isn't a lot in 53 IP?

When we faced him earlier this year, all the batters had to do was literally walk up to the plate and stand there with the bat on their shoulder.

Potential is what he is.

Very few pitchers know how to pitch these days. They want science projects that can hit triple digits. Most don’t work out

Some of y’all melted when he left

Hate to see this….I always wish Tigers success in life even after LSU. At least he has a national championship ring!

This was a situation where it would have worked out better for him to enter the draft straight out of HS.

I knew who the article was about before I even paid attention to the picture. That is why I am not concerned about Paz leaving LSU...exactly the same type of pitcher...EXACTLY the same! These guys are hyped up due to potential but they can't do the most fundamental requirement of a pitcher. That is the throw strikes and not walk essentially 1 batter per inning. Give me "performance", not "potential."

Not even sure why this is front page material. Sorry but always posting about FORMER players old. This is OU news and OU news only.

WE didn't see "Mr.Control"at all during the CWS. He can't throw strikes. The Cardinals didn't want him. Yeskie and OU's pitching coach could not fix him eithet.
