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.
Construction has officially begun on Oklahoma City’s new MAPS 4 Multipurpose Stadium.
Oklahoma City Leaders broke ground Monday afternoon on the site. The stadium, designed by Populous, will serve as the future home of Oklahoma City’s professional soccer teams and a United Football League franchise.
Officials said the venue will also host concerts, youth sports, graduations, and other community events.
“Today’s stadium groundbreaking reflects a city that is relentlessly investing in itself,” Mayor David Holt said. “We are perhaps the only top 50 city to lack a multipurpose stadium, and it’s kept us from opportunities in soccer and music, as well as in minor league football, collegiate and high school sports. In 2019, we decided to address that need. And even before we broke ground, we were already seeing new opportunities present themselves. We are also seeing this project become a catalyst for the parcel around it, which promises to develop into a vibrant new mixed-use district in the heart of our city. This MAPS 4 project continues our city’s incredibly successful philosophy. When we invest in our city, we always reap rewards.”
The project is expected to become a major hub for sports and entertainment in downtown Oklahoma City.

“This stadium will serve as far more than a sports and entertainment venue; it will be a community hub and a catalyst for a bold new cultural district in downtown Oklahoma City,” said Christian Kanady, founder and CEO of Echo Investment Capital. “As the future home of our professional soccer club, it will also host concerts, events, and gatherings that bring people together and deliver on our promise to create meaningful experiences for our fans, partners, and community. This project reflects Oklahoma City’s continued investment and its future, and we’re proud to partner with the City of Oklahoma City on such a transformational vision.”
The stadium will be operated by Echo and their professional sports platform, and built in partnership with Russell Westbrook, Nick Gross, the Chickasa Nation, Poulous, Fields and Futures, and Robison Park.
“The MAPS 4 Multipurpose Stadium is an investment in the future of Oklahoma City and the talent pipeline for our youth,” Oklahoma City Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Jamie C. Polk said. “This world-class venue will bring our community together while giving students a place to compete, perform, celebrate graduation, and dream bigger about their future right here at home.”

Oklahoma isn’t done yet.
The Sooners’ bats kept them in the Atlanta Regional with an emphatic showing in the Atlanta Regional on Sunday.
Deiten LaChance’s grand slam highlighted OU’s eight-run fourth inning, which turned Sunday’s contest against No. 2-overall seed Georgia Tech on its head.
Prior to the fourth, it looked as if it was going to be the Yellow Jackets’ night.
The hosts plated five runs in the third inning to take a 7-2 lead, and a call went against OU in the bottom of the third.
How to Watch Oklahoma vs. Georgia Tech in the Atlanta Regonal Final
- When: Monday, June 1
- Time: 2 p.m.
- Channel: ESPNU
Trey Gambill had snaked a single through the Georgia Tech infield to plate a run and cut the lead down with two outs, but just before the pitch was thrown, the third base umpire raised his arm to indicate there had been a pitch clock violation.
Lucky to have just gotten out of the situation with a ball, Yellow Jacket pitcher Jackson Blakely struck Gambill out, which understandably did not go over well in Oklahoma’s dugout.
The setback only galvanized Skip Johnson’s Sooners, however.
OU responded by sending 11 batters to the plate in the bottom of the fourth, and the Sooners took a 10-8 lead.
It was an advantage they never relented.
Oklahoma added an insurance run in the seventh and four more in the eighth to ensure that the Sooners would head back to the team hotel with a decisive Game 7 of the Atlanta Regional on the mind.
Johnson will have a big choice to make in who starts the do-or-die contest on Monday afternoon (2 p.m., ESPNU).
In OU’s first game against The Citadel on Sunday, Johnson rolled with freshman Nick Wesloski.

He pitched seven innings to get the Sooners into Sunday night’s contest against Georgia Tech. Oklahoma’s big offensive showing against the Bulldogs meant that Johnson could make any choice necessary in relief, so he threw Reid Hensley and Jaden Barfield for an inning each to seal the win.
Against the Yellow Jackets, OU started Cameron Johnson. He faced just three batters, allowing two runs on two hits, before Oklahoma turned to Jackson Cleveland.
Cleveland tossed three innings in relief. OU also used two innings of Gavyn Jones and LJ Mercurius picked up a save by pitching four innings on Sunday night.
The winner between Monday’s battle will meet 15-seed Kansas in next weekend’s Super Regionals. Georgia Tech would host the Jayhawks with a win, whereas the Sooners would head to Lawrence next weekend if they are able to oust the top seed left in the NCAA Tournament.
