Oklahoma capped off its regular season with a 17-13 win against LSU to improve to 10-2.

The Sooners, No. 8 in the College Football Playoff rankings, sealed their spot in the CFP with Saturday’s victory.

OU got two new commitments after its season-defining win. The Sooners landed 2027 edge rusher Krew Jones just hours after the game, and 2027 wideout Tra’Von Hall committed to OU on Sunday.

In addition to the Sooners’ two new pledges, several key targets visited Norman for the final regular-season game.

Here is the latest in OU football recruiting:

Commits, major prospects watch Sooners win

Two local OU commits — 2026 athlete Xavier Okwufulueze and 2027 offensive tackle Cooper Hackett — visited the LSU game. Those two took a picture on the field with two other high-level Oklahoma prospects — 2028 athlete Kamieon Compton-Nero and 2027 defensive back Semaj Stanford.
