Oklahoma Sooners

Oklahoma has flipped a wide receiver previously committed to Penn State.

Jahsiear Rogers, a 5-foot-11, 180-pound speedster from Delaware committed to OU on Monday morning. He announced his decision during a live announcement on the Rivals YouTube Channel.

According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Rogers is a 4-star prospect and the No. 52-ranked wide receiver in the 2026 recruiting class.

“Oklahoma is just a place built for football players,” Rogers told Rivals' Steve Wiltfong.

“Just the rich history they got of putting great receivers in the league and just the program and coaching staff,” Rogers explained. “It’s a family atmosphere over there.”

Rogers attends Appoquinimink High School in Middletown, DE. According to MaxPreps, Rogers has 19 catches through five games so far during his senior season, and has produced 440 receiving yards — an average of 23.2 yards per catch — while scoring six touchdowns.

He chose OU over Nebraska, Alabama and Indiana, and also had scholarship offers from North Carolina, Syracuse, Kansas State and others.

Rogers visited Norman last weekend to attend the Sooners’ home game against Ole Miss. The Rebels upset OU 34-26, but Rogers apparently was impressed with several areas of the Oklahoma football program.

“Definitely the fans,” Rogers said. “The relationship the coaches have with the players and myself. Coach (Brent) Venables is a great guy all around.”

He decommitted from Penn State following the recent firing of Nittany Lions head coach James Franklin. 

Rogers committed to Franklin and Penn State in July 2024 and taken several visits to the school before this season began.

Per his Twitter/X account, Rogers received a scholarship offer from the Alabama Crimson Tide on Oct. 16, and is scheduled to visit Tuscaloosa for the LSU game on Nov. 8. There is no indication that he’s canceled that visit yet with the verbal pledge to Oklahoma.

He is Oklahoma's 22nd verbal commitment in the 2026 recruiting class. Per 247Sports, OU currently has the No. 18-ranked recruiting class in the nation. That class includes 10 offensive prospects: quarterback Bowe Bentley, wideouts Daniel Odom, Xavier Okwufulueze, Brayden Allen and Rogers, tight ends Ryder Mix and Tyler Ruxer, running back DeZephen Walker and offensive linemen Deacon Schmitt and Noah Best.
