Oklahoma small forward Derrion Reid announced his return to the Sooners for the 2026-27 season. He posted to his Instagram on Tuesday.

In 37 games last season, Reid averaged 11.7 points per game 4.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, shot 50.9% from the floor and 35.8% from three-point range. Reid played his freshman season at Alabama before transferring.

As a member of the Class of 2024, Reid was a four-star recruit out of Augusta (Ga.) Prolific Prep (Calif.), according to the Rivals Industry Ranking. He was the No. 1 overall prospect in California, the No. 7 small forward in the class and the No. 18 overall prospect in the class.

Reid was far from the only returner to Oklahoma for next basketball season. Guard Xzayvier Brown agreed to a deal to return to the Sooners, per On3’s Joe Tipton. He will be one of the top returner scorers in the SEC next year.
