Sooners Make Elite WR Prospect's Top Four

Texan J. Michael Sturdivant will decide between OU, LSU, Cal and UCLA

Oklahoma made the top four of another elite high school wide receiver prospect.

J. Michael Sturdivant, a 4-star wideout from Flower Mound, Texas, is the No. 59-ranked receiver in the 2021 class, per Rivals. According to the 247 Sports Composite, Sturdivant is No. 27 nationally at his position.

The 6-foot-3, 182-pound Sturdivant lists Oklahoma, LSU, UCLA and Cal in his final four. He has offers from 34 Division I schools, according to 247 Sports, and on Saturday eliminated TCU, Stanford and Duke.

For Oklahoma, it may come down to a head-to-head battle with LSU. Sturdivant’s quarterback at Flower Mound, Garrett Nussmeier, recently gave a verbal commitment to play for Ed Orgeron and the Tigers.

OU landed an early commitment from four-star prospect Cody Jackson (ranked No. 35 in the country by Rivals) and then last week got a verbal pledge from 5-star wideout Mario Williams (ranked No. 2 among receivers by Rivals in the class of 2021).
