Basketball standout Audi Crooks has revealed her decision to transfer to Oklahoma State, making the announcement Sunday evening through her social media channels after completing an exceptional career at Iowa State.
The 6-foot-3 center, who ranked as the country’s second-highest scorer during the 2025-26 season, brings impressive credentials to her new team with just one season of eligibility left to play. This past year, she earned second-team All-American recognition while posting remarkable numbers – 25.8 points per game on an outstanding 64.9% field goal percentage, plus 7.7 rebounds across 31 starting appearances for Iowa State.
Despite Crooks’ outstanding 37-point performance, the Cyclones finished their season with a 22-10 record but suffered an early exit in the Women’s NCAA Tournament, falling to Syracuse in the opening round.
Throughout her time with Iowa State, the Iowa native established herself as a dominant force, earning three consecutive All-Big 12 first-team selections. Over 99 games with the program, including 95 starts, she maintained averages of 22.8 points and 7.7 rebounds while shooting an impressive 61.1% from the field.
Her transfer announcement came via a creative video posted to her X account, showing Crooks in an Oklahoma State uniform while dancing alongside her new head coach, Jacie Hoyt.
Crooks became one of the most sought-after players when she entered the transfer portal on April 2, with the two-week transfer window set to close Monday.
Oklahoma State, which posted a 24-10 record last season before falling to eventual national champion UCLA in the tournament’s second round, saw nine players enter the transfer portal this offseason.
Joining Crooks in Stillwater will be Florida transfer Liv McGill, a guard who ranked 11th nationally with 22.5 points per game. The Cowgirls have also added transfers Ellie Brueggemann, a guard from Lindenwood who averaged 14.0 points per game, and forward Nene Ndiaye from Rutgers, who contributed 14.8 points per contest.
