Oklahoma Sooners

Oklahoma has made the cut list for the nation’s top tight end.

Davon Mitchell, an elite prospect in the 2025 recruiting class, has narrowed his top five schools, per On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

Mitchell, a 6-foot-4, 245-pound tight end from Los Alamitos, CA, will choose between Alabama, OU, Texas, Texas, Texas A&M and Miami.

Mitchell is a 4-star prospect who ranks No. 1 in the nation by both Rivals and On3, and is ranked No. 2 nationally at the tight end position by 247 Sports, which also ranks him as the No. 1 overall prospect out of California.

All three recruiting media outlets project that Mitchell will eventually choose OU.

Oklahoma has also been widely projected to land 2025 prospect Nate Roberts, a 6-4, 225-pound tight end from Washington, OK, currently ranked by 247 Sports as the No. 2 overall player in the state. That recruitment could come down to OU and Notre Dame.

The Sooners have one 2025 verbal commitment so far: Rock Hill, TX, quarterback Kevin Sperry.
