"Never in a million years did I think I would be going into the portal looking for a new home. Some things are out of my control. Such is the reality of the ever-changing landscape of college football. Emptied my tank every day for this great university, my teammates, & all of the good folks of Texas. Grateful."
Livingstone wasted no time on Tuesday changing his profile picture and his X to mirror his decision to join the Sooners. The move to Norman also comes with a favorable payday for the former Texas HSFB standout. Kirk Bohls of the Houston Chronicle reported that Livingstone will earn roughly $800,000 with the Sooners.
