The Oklahoma Sooners have picked up some momentum on the recruiting trail with the recent commitments of Xavier Robinson, Wyatt Gilmore, and Ivan Carreon. That makes back-to-back weeks the Sooners have landed pledges from multiple prospects, three of which were four-star prospects.
The rest of the summer could be even bigger as they await decisions from five-star prospects David Stone, Williams Nwaneri, Kobe Black, Terry Bussey, and Dominick McKinley. The Sooners appear best-positioned for Nwaneri and Stone, but their efforts have given them an outside shot at the other three.
The Sooners are also awaiting decisions on running backs Taylor Tatum and Caden Durham, a pair of players that have been trending toward Oklahoma for some time. And we know Bill Bedenbaugh and Oklahoma will add several more offensive linemen to the class.
With what’s still to come, the Oklahoma Sooners look like they’re heading toward another top-10 class in the 2024 Recruiting Cycle.
Here’s a look at how the top 25 stacks up in On3’s team recruiting rankings as of July 2. Interestingly, the SEC is very prominent in the rankings, with 13 of the 16 teams that will make up the conference in 2024 inside the top 25.
