The Oklahoma Sooners landed one of College Football's biggest fish in the 2027 quarterback class with Saraland, Alabama, product Jamison Roberts' commitment to Brent Venables, Ben Arbuckle, and Co. on Saturday.

Roberts had the home-state Auburn Tigers, Florida Gators, and Georgia Bulldogs in his final four before choosing Oklahoma.

First-year head coaches Alex Golesh and Jon Sumrall couldn't get the job done, not yet, at least, while Georgia's Kirby Smart and Mike Bobo will have to find a different successor to Ryan Puglisi or Ryan Montgomery, assuming one of them takes the baton from Gunner Stockton after the 2026 season.

Roberts will join Whitt Newbauer and 2026 signee Bowe Bentley in the Sooners' QB room next season.

Although Venables and Seth Littrell couldn't develop Jackson Arnold, and Michael Hawkins didn't get a QB1 chance before his transfer to the West Virginia Mountaineers following a four-win season in Morgantown, John Mateer was a success under center in 2025 with Arbuckle, who came with him from the Washington State Cougars. He'll return for another year before a QB battle unfolds next year.

While unlikely to win in his freshman season, Roberts will be joining a university that boasts the most current starting NFL QBs.
