The Sooners are in playoff mode.

Oklahoma will host Alabama in the first round of the College Football Playoff in just five days, a month after the Sooners beat the Crimson Tide 23-21 in the regular season.

While the 2025 team is vying for a national championship, the Sooners have continued their efforts on the recruiting trail.

Here is the latest in OU football recruiting:

Rejoice Christian defended its Oklahoma Class A-I title after winning the state championship in 2024.

Okwufulueze was a consensus 3-star prospect in the 2026 class, and he chose Oklahoma over offers from TCU, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Arkansas and Utah. The wide receiver is listed at 6-foot-4 and 200 pounds.

Okwufulueze is one of four wideouts the Sooners signed in the Class of 2026, along with Jayden Petit, Jahsiear Rogers and Daniel Odom.

— Gavin Williams 4⭐️ (@gavinnwill) December 9, 2025

Williams, from La Verne, CA, is a consensus 4-star and top-200 prospect in the 2027 class. His highest ranking comes from 247Sports, which has him graded as the No. 86 player from the class.

Williams primarily plays safety, and as a sophomore in 2024, he registered 44 tackles, four interceptions, three forced fumbles and two tackles for loss.

Other major programs that have offered Williams include Texas A&M, Nebraska, Alabama, Oregon, Tennessee and Texas.

State of the 2027 Class

Oklahoma’s 2027 class moved from the top spot to No. 2 in 247Sports’ team recruiting rankings this week, as Texas A&M bumped up to No. 1.

The Sooners have earned pledges from 11 players in the class. Per 247Sports, two of those commits are 5-stars, and four are 4-stars.

In comparison, the Aggies have eight players committed from the class — one 5-star and seven 4-stars.

Still, Oklahoma fans should be pleased with the Sooners’ recruiting efforts in that cycle, as they have earned verbal pledges from high-level targets, both in-state and out-of-state. Plus, there’s nearly a full year until the Class of 2027 recruits can sign their letters of intent, meaning the rankings will fluctuate regularly until then.
