Recruiting Roundup: Multiple Prospects Announce Oklahoma State Offers
The Cowboys’ staff has been busy on the recruiting trail over the past week with double-digit prospects announcing Oklahoma State offers.
Here is a roundup of which players Oklahoma State’s staff has an eye on, as the Cowboys start to focus on the 2025 class.
Michael Terry III is ranked as highly as the No. 50 player in the 2025 recruiting class. Out of San Antonio by way of Alamo Heights High, Terry has already announced offers to Texas, Oregon, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Missouri and others.
He is a consensus four-star recruit and played at receiver, running back and corner during his junior season. At 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, Terry likely projects to be a receiver at the college level.
One of the first offers of the Paul Randolph era of OSU’s defensive line, Kamauryn Morgan is a consensus four-star prospect, ranked as highly as the No. 68 player in the 2025 class.
Listed at 6-foot-3, 230 pounds, Morgan plays at Red Oak High School in Red Oak, Texas. It’s the same high school OSU pulled defensive back Raymond Gay II from in the 2021 class.
Morgan made 65 total tackles this past season, including 13 tackles for loss and six sacks, according to MaxPreps. He also forced a pair of fumbles.
OSU joins the likes of Georgia, Florida, Miami, Oregon, Texas, Texas A&M, USC and others that have offered Morgan.
Out of Brandeis High School in San Antonio, Jaden Perez is a 6-foot-1, 170-pound wide receiver prospect.
He had 48 catches for 577 yards and six touchdowns in his junior season, according to MaxPreps.
OSU joined the likes of Arkansas, Miami, TCU, Baylor, Houston, Texas Tech, Kansas, Wisconsin and others that have jumped in and offered.
ESPN, Rivals and On3 all list Perez as a four-star prospect, with Rivals listing him as the No. 194 player in the entire class.
On3 lists Royal Capell as a four-star prospect and the No. 246 player in the 2025 cycle.
Listed at 5-foot-10, 185 pounds, Capell plays at Steele High School in Cibolo, Texas. He caught 59 passes for 788 yards and five touchdowns as a junior, according to MaxPreps. He also ran nine times for 63 yards.
OSU joins Capell’s list of offers that features Oklahoma, Oregon, Missouri, Houston and others.
OSU also reportedly extended an offer to Capell’s teammate: Sean Robinson.
Listed at 6-foot-4, 206 pounds, Robinson isn’t yet ranked by the major services, but he now holds offers to OSU, Arizona, UTEP and UTSA.
But wait, there’s another Steele wide receiver with an OSU offer.
Cooper, listed at 6-1, 165 pounds, is a three-star prospect with offers to Baylor, SMU, Houston, Texas Tech and others.
He caught 63 passes for a ridiculous 1,578 yards and 23 touchdowns as a junior this past season. He had a 262-yard, four-touchdown performance against Midland Legacy. Cooper hit triple-digit receiving yards five times this past season and had six multi-touchdown games.
A 5-foot-10, 170-pound back out of Southlake Carroll High School, Riley Wormley already has offers to Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, TCU, Oregon and others.
He rushed for 901 yards and five touchdowns on 85 carries as a junior, according to MaxPreps. Also a threat in the passing game, Wormly caught nine passes for 123 yards.
Another early offer in the Randolph era, Smith Orogbo adds OSU to his list of offers that also features Oklahoma, Nebraska, Baylor, TCU, Kansas, Texas Tech and others.
Out of Alief Hastings High School in Houston, Orogbo is listed at 6-4, 220 pounds.
The Cowboys are in early on unranked tight end Isaiah Butler-Tanner out of Killeen, Texas.
Listed at 6-foot-5, 250 pounds, Butler-Tanner caught 16 passes for 157 yards as a junior at Shoemaker High School. He also had 16 rush attempts for 50 yards and a pair of scores.
None of the major services have given Butler-Tanner an initial rating to this point, but it shouldn’t be long, as he has announced offers to Texas State, Texas Tech, Houston, Baylor and now Oklahoma State.
A top-100 prospect in the 2026 class, Jordan Clay picked up an OSU offer this past week, as the Cowboys join Texas Tech, Arizona State, Baylor, Houston and others after Clay’s services.
Listed at 6-3, 190 pounds, Clay plays at Madison High in San Antonio. As a sophomore in 2023, Clay caught 14 passes for 343 yards and five touchdowns in Madison’s first four games, according to MaxPreps. That includes a 200-yard, two-touchdown performance against Brandeis.
The UFC handed out four bonuses after Saturday’s card in Oklahoma City, including a pair to the main event fighters.
After UFC Fight Night 281, four fighters picked up an extra $100,000 for their performances at Paycom Center. Additionally, two fighters got $25,000 extra checks for finishes that weren’t bonus-winners.
Check out the list of winners below.
Dricus Du Plessis (24-3 MMA, 10-1 UFC) put on a masterful performance with a unanimous decision over former welterweight champion Kamaru Usman (21-5 MMA, 16-4 UFC), whose return to middleweight ended in failure – and him saying he didn’t want to be a sore loser, then listing about six reasons why he was being precisely that. Du Plessis frequently made Usman look slow, though the broadcast team starting in the third round lauded him for his grit. DDP’s scorecards included a 50-45, which Usman took particular exception with as part of his “I’m not a sore loser” sore loser time on the microphone with Daniel Cormier, who seemed unsure if he should feel sorry for him or be embarrassed for his assertion that he somehow was in a competitive fight.
Performance of the Night: Felipe Franco ($100,000)
Felipe Franco (11-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) turned in a performance to remember for his first win in the UFC when he took out Levi Rodrigues (5-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) with a second-round TKO. Back at 205 pounds after a loss in his UFC debut at heavyweight, Franco mounted Rodrigues and pounded him out in the second frame.
Performance of the Night: Tommy McMillen ($100,000)
Tommy McMillen (11-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) looked like a star has been born when he set a new promotional record for significant strikes in a three-round featherweight fight. And thought he took a few licks himself from Alberto Montes (11-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC), he put him away with about 90 seconds left in the fight after a torrid of standup punishment.
Finish bonus: R.J. Harris ($25,000)
R.J. Harris (6-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) had a stellar debut in the UFC at heavyweight when he drilled Alvin Hines (7-2 MMA, 0-2 UFC) with an uppercut in the first round that took him off his feet. Harris was on him in the bat of an eye and a few punches later had a stoppage in 100 seconds.
Finish bonus: Dione Barbosa ($25,000)
Dione Barbosa (10-4 MMA, 4-2 UFC) made things look easy against Alice Melisano (6-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC). Knowing her easiest path to victory was on the canvas, she took the UFC newcomer and “TUF” grad down right away, then worked her way to an eventual rear-naked choke finish in the opening round. Barbosa was the second biggest betting favorite on the card at 7-1.
The Oklahoma Sooners surprised the college football world with their breakthrough 2025 season. The Sooners made the College Football Playoff after a 6-7 season in 2024.
The Sooners navigated one of the toughest schedules in college football and still finished the regular season with a 10-2 record. With another offseason of development and the return of several key contributors, expectations are high around Norman heading into 2026. However, that optimism has not carried over to the national conversation.
ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI) projects the Sooners will finish with a 7-5 record this season. Despite that projection, FPI still ranks Oklahoma as the No. 12 team in the country. That disrespect likely comes from the up-and-down tenure under head coach Brent Venables. So far, he’s had two double-digit-win seasons, while also having two losing seasons. Oklahoma hadn’t had a losing season since 1998 until Venables took over before the 2022 season.
On3’s Ari Wasserman said that Oklahoma has been overlooked nationally on his show with Andy Staples.
Oklahoma has already shown it can compete at the highest level after making the College Football Playoff in its first season as an SEC member. Now, the challenge is proving that last season was not just a one-year breakthrough.
With a talented roster, an elite defense, and key players returning, the Sooners have the opportunity to exceed national expectations and establish themselves as a consistent contender in the SEC.

Du Plessis returns to the Octagon for the first time since losing his middleweight title to Khamzat Chimaev last August. Standing across from him is Usman, a former welterweight champion who defended his title five times, with signature wins over Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington. The pair headline a stacked card filled with rising contenders and can’t-miss prospects.
