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.

His only active season was at New Mexico State in 2022, when he went 55-for-110 for 736 yards, four touchdowns and seven interceptions in 11 games (five starts).

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