Isimenme Ozzy-Momodu commits to OU
On top of the addition of Boyd, OU also earned a transfer portal commitment on Thursday.
She’s a 6’3″ redshirt junior forward from London, England, who emerged as a reliable interior presence for the Maryland Terrapins in the 2025-26 season. She averaged 8.0 points and 6.4 rebounds per game while shooting 57.4% from the field across 31 games (21 starts), contributing 1.0 blocks per game and recording four double-doubles.
Ozzy-Momodu’s strong presence in the paint and international background will make her a key piece for OU. She will replace Raegan Beers at center.
