The Oklahoma Sooners land their 10th commitment since the ChampU BBQ at the end of June.
This one is Southlake Carroll (TX) wide receiver and return man Jacob Jordan. Jordan is a 5-foot-9, 170-pound receiver who will be a preferred walk-on for the team.
On3 has him as a three-star but he’s not rated on any of the other major recruiting sites.
Jordan had an impressive season a year ago. He caught 64 passes for 1,202 yards and 16 touchdowns.
This followed a season in which he was named Texas District 4-6A Offensive Newcomer of the Year as a sophomore.

From the first highlight you watch, you can already see the impressive route running and speed he possesses.
He’s also a really impressive return man for Southlake Carroll. He adds to an already stacked class at wide receiver in the 2024 cycle for the Sooners.
They’ve added five receivers, Zion Ragins, Zion Kearney, Ivan Carreon, K.J. Daniels and Dozie Ezukanma.
Jordan has the perfect size and ability to play the role currently occupied by Drake Stoops and could follow Stoops’ potential successor, Gavin Freeman.
The Sooners have had success with both of those players and hope to continue that with Jordan.
For a high school player, he already has an impressive route tree. Several times in his highlights he showed the ability to take the top off the defense, catch something short and break it for a big gain, and also the ability to shake a defender during the route leaving him wide open for a huge gain.
Just like any preferred walk-on, it will be tough for him to get on the field and make a name for himself, but he definitely has the ability.
One thing he has working for him is the impressive track record Oklahoma has with preferred walk-ons including his two predecessors.
