Andrel Anthony has found a new home in the ACC. 

The former Oklahoma wide receiver committed to Duke, On3’s Hayes Fawcett reported on Thursday.

Anthony spent two years in Norman, but his OU career was derailed by injuries. 

He looked every bit of 2023’s breakout star, catching 27 passes for 429 yards and a touchdown before he sustained an ACL injury in the Sooners’ win over Texas. 

After some setbacks in the offseason, Anthony was never really able to make it back onto the field in a substantial was in 2024. 

Anthony only played eight snaps this past season, per Pro Football Focus, and he caught one pass for four yards.
