Former Oregon State star Raegan Beers announced on social media Monday that she is transferring to Oklahoma.
The 6-foot-4 rising junior averaged 17.5 points, 10.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game for the Beavers last season while finishing first in the nation with a 66.4 shooting percentage. She earned her second All-Pac-12 selection and was named a third-team AP All-American.
Beers, a Colorado native who reportedly also considered transferring to UConn, posted a message on X with a video message accompanied by the words “I’m Home.”
“I learned from an early age that I have to work for everything,” she said during the video. “I learned the importance of loving the process, and the process has led me here, a place that emphasizes the importance of loving the game, loving to compete and loving Oklahoma.
“I may just be a kid from the cul de sac in Colorado, but deep down, I’m a Sooner.”
Beers will have two seasons of eligibility remaining with the Sooners, who are coming off their second consecutive Big 12 regular-season title. However, Oklahoma is moving to the SEC, where the Sooners will do battle against powerhouses South Carolina and LSU, who have combined to win the past three national titles.
Oklahoma has made three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances under coach Jennie Baranczyk, but have not advanced past the Round of 32 during that span. The Sooners return Big 12 Player of the Year and All-American Skylar Vann, All-American guard Payton Verhulst and standout freshman Sahara Williams.
Joining them will be Beers, who averaged 13.3 points and 8.6 rebounds per game as a freshman while earning Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and Pac-12 Sixth Player of the Year accolades. She improved on those numbers this past season, when she helped Oregon State reach the Elite 8, where the Beavers lost to South Carolina.
