The Oklahoma Sooners haven’t earned a commitment from a defensive player in the 2026 recruiting class yet, but they’ve made significant strides on the recruiting trail.
One of the players they’re well positioned with is 2026 defensive end Jake Kreul. Kreul is a four-star prospect out of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. He’s the No. 60 player overall according to 247Sports and the No. 7 edge player in the class. Rivals consider Kreul the No. 2 player at his position in the 2026 class.
As spring ball leads to summer recruiting, Kreul has set his official visits with five schools, including the Oklahoma Sooners.
Kreul will visit Colorado on Friday, May 2, and then will go to Ohio State on May 30. He’ll follow that up with a visit to Florida on June 7 before heading to Texas on June 13. The final visit he has scheduled comes with the Oklahoma Sooners on June 30.
Kreul has an elite set of offers from across the country, including 13 of the 16 SEC teams. In addition to Oklahoma and Texas, Kreul holds offers from Georgia, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Missouri, Florida, LSU, Tennessee, Auburn, Vanderbilt, Arkansas, and South Carolina.
Even with some of the heavy hitters in college football in pursuit, the Oklahoma Sooners have put themselves in a strong position to land a commitment from Kreul. Cody Carpentier, who covers Texas Longhorns recruiting for Orangebloods at Rivals, issued a Futurecast favoring the Sooners on April 15, shortly after Kreul was in Norman for a visit.
Though there’s no decision date set, the upcoming official visits will play a huge part in his recruitment.
