The Sooners are actively pursuing top talent for the 2026 recruiting class, including one of the leading linebackers. Oklahoma improved to 3-0 with a 34-19 victory over Tulane on Saturday.
The Sooners hosted several prospects to showcase the atmosphere of a game day in Norman, with next weekend’s evening matchup against Tennessee set to be an even more significant recruiting event. ESPN’s “College Gameday” will be on hand, adding to the excitement.
In addition to welcoming numerous offers and commitments, Brent Venables and his staff have been busy on the recruiting front. They extended scholarship offers to three new prospects over the past week and secured a spot in the top 12 for a highly regarded defender.
**Top Schools**
On Tuesday, sought-after linebacker Anthony Davis revealed his top 12 schools, which include OU, Ohio State, Alabama, USC, Colorado, Auburn, Clemson, Michigan, Penn State, Tennessee, Texas, and Oregon.
As the 2025 recruiting cycle approaches the early signing period, Venables and the Sooners will continue to focus on the 2026 class, aiming to secure their first defensive commitment for the cycle.
**Offers Extended**
On Wednesday, Emmett Jones and his staff extended an offer to Huguenot (VA) wide receiver Iveon Lewis. At 6-2 and 180 pounds, Lewis is a top receiver in Virginia and has already received offers from Tennessee, Penn State, and South Carolina.
The same day, Seth Littrell’s team offered 4-star Lone Star (TX) running back Davian Groce. Rated the No. 18 overall prospect and the top running back in the 2026 class, Groce would be a significant addition for the Sooners. He is teammates with OU tight end commit Ryder Mix and Oklahoma defensive back offer Jordan Deck.
On Saturday, the Sooners’ staff also extended an offer to 2027 Lewisville (TX) defensive back Derrick Martin, a teammate of 5-star OU commit Michael Fasusi.
