It appears so, to Oklahoma based upon his social-media page.
Not surprised that a blueblood program is taking a chance on Baklenko, who has pretty much ideal size and a bit more athleticism than average.
If you can stomach it, a former OU lineman had done a film analysis of his play at Stanford (as an aside, this vid has more than 11k views, which just shows the level of rabid fandom for Oklahoma football):

Why pursue another QB. We have some. What we do not have are offensive lineman who can block for the QB and such running backs as we might have. The young man from Nevada is a keeper, we need at least three more of those. What we really need is CASH and lots of it. We need to buy ourselves an offensive line. There must be at least a half dozen offensive lineman out there who have the academic chops to do the work at Stanford. Our mission needs to be find them and buy them.
We need to put together a team that at least gets to some sort of bowl, show some progress. I do not suggest we take those who can't do the work, but I do say there are a number of players at every position who can do the work, have done the work. Find them, pay them, coach them and start winning a little. If we can't do that we are desitined to forever be the doormat of the ACC in football, Andrew Luck and President Levin included. If we are unwilling to do what has to be done to get us out of mess, then we should just go quietly into the good night and root for the Basketball team.
