2025 Quarterback Kevin Sperry Commits to Oklahoma Earlier this week, the Oklahoma Sooners received a commitment from one of the most highly sought after quarterbacks in the 2025 cycle, Kevin Sperry. Sperry is from Prosper, Texas, and he plays for Rock Hill high school. Oklahoma has done a great job of recruiting the DFW area, and if Michael Hawkins decides to pick the Sooners in April, it will mark three straight classes with quarterback commits from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The highly coveted signal caller decided to commit to Oklahoma just four days after receiving the offer. It’s very rare…

Oklahoma hauled in its best recruiting class in the modern era in 2023. This class is armed to the teeth with a multitude of impact players on both sides of the ball including Jackson Arnold, Peyton Bowen, and PJ Adebawore. Unlike in years past, the Sooners were able to put together a rather balanced class this year, with multiple key players at nearly every position. All this to say that there is plenty of elite talent in this group. Naturally though, some will stand out more than others on the field in 2023, whether it’s due to playing a position…

On Friday, former Buccaneers DT Warren Sapp stated that he has heard rumors out of Chicago that the Bears are looking to trade away Justin Fields and take Alabama quarterback Bryce Young with the number one overall pick. This comes as a shock considering how well Fields played for the Bears this season. It’s all just rumors at this point, and quite honestly, I’m a little skeptical about it. However, it is definitely something to watch out for, as this could be a massive addition for whoever trades for Fields. https://twitter.com/NFLRookieWatxh/status/1619009906346176512 “What I’m hearing out of Chicago is, they’re fixing…

On Saturday, January 14th, the Oklahoma Sooners landed a commitment from offensive lineman Walter Rouse out of Stanford. Rouse has one year of eligibility remaining. He is a big addition for the Sooners, and will add some experience to a rather young offensive line room. Standing in at 6-6, 318-pounds, Rouse has plenty of size to start. He could be an immediate impact player for the Sooners in 2023, but if nothing else, he will at least add good depth to the offensive line. Walter Rouse originally committed to Nebraska, before Oklahoma ended up flipping him in the eleventh hour.…
