Oklahoma Sooners Recruiting Report

In the aftermath of Oklahoma firing Ben Arbuckle, one may wonder where recruits stand now that the offensive coordinator is no longer with the program. A fair question to ask; so, what is the status? We start with 2027 QB commit Jamison Roberts who may be the recruit most impacted by the change. Will he stick with the Sooners, or will he move on? The same question goes for 2028 QB commit Trey Tagliaferri who, despite the change at OC, makes his future clear. On the good news front, 5-star o-line commit Cooper Hackett makes his return to the field for Fort Gibson after battling injury all year. Kamieon Compton-Nero has his decision coming soon. Does OU still have a shot with the top recruit in the state? Despite the beatdown from South Carolina, a commitment still occurred in the likes of Denton Guyer's Logan Lokey. Finally, a new name emerges in current Eastern Michigan commit Noah Prince. What do the Sooners like about this kid?

When's the last time two brothers found success at the University of Oklahoma at the same time? Well, right now, in the form of Eli and Peyton Bowen. The Sooners will have two more brothers coming to campus: Dawson and David Jacobs. How likely is it that they can land the brothers? Zaiden Jernigan has turned plenty of heads down in Mississippi as one of the top running backs in the 2028 class. Does Oklahoma have a real chance? Or are they chasing another college football blue blood? While he may be one of the top running backs. OU also finds itself in the race for THE top running back in the 2028 cycle in Jayshawn Mitchell. Can the Sooners land the number 1 running back for the first time since Taylor Tatum? A 4-star edge rusher from the state of Alabama has caught the eyes of the OU staff. Where are things with Keoni Snipes? Plus, some of the most impressive film you will see: take a look at Keaton Fields. That is a guy who would be welcome on any roster.

While it certainly feels like momentum has shifted for the Sooners in the 2026 season after a huge win in the Red River Rivalry, has that momentum also made its way to the recruiting ranks? Oklahoma is still in a battle for 5-star defensive lineman Kellan Hall; where does his recruitment stand? 5-star OU commit Seneca Driver is still locked in with the Sooners, but is Kentucky starting to make an impression on the in-state talent? Could this weekend's matchup have a lot more riding on it than originally anticipated? Graydon Reid is another name OU fans should get familiar with as they find themselves in another recruiting battle with Kentucky, as well as Texas.

In a week in which the Sooners need big performances in the Cotton Bowl, a few future Sooners put up huge numbers themselves in the high school football scene. Josh went down to see Hutto Hippo, and 2027 Oklahoma safety commit Jaiden Fields had a monster game with 7 touchdowns. He may be a defensive pledge, but could we see him on the offensive side of the ball when he gets to Norman? Parker also saw his fair share of big games, starting with 2027 linebacker commit Cooper Witten, who was all over the field, totaling 20 tackles and 2 touchdowns. Finally, a trip up to New Jersey to see 2028 OU quarterback commit Trey Tagliaferri in what may be one of the best high school football games of the year.
