The Oklahoma Sooners 2025 recruiting class is off to a great start. They’re well within the top 10 in team recruiting rankings and sit No. 2 in the SEC, according to 247Sports.
In their 10 commitments, the Sooners have six blue-chip prospects but have the potential to add several more big names over the course of the recruiting cycle. Two players that the Sooners are in a great position with are five-star prospects, Jonah Williams and Ty Haywood.
