Quarterback Gavin Frakes is transferring to Northwestern after previously committing to Oklahoma, On3 reported Wednesday.
Frakes, who did not see any action at Virginia last season, made a verbal pledge to his hometown Sooners out of the spring transfer portal on May 22.
The 6-foot-4, 232-pounder from Norman, Okla., entered the portal on April 21.

Frakes, 23, did not play in 2023 and transferred to Virginia ahead of the 2024 season.
