Oklahoma 2024 OL target Eugene Brooks sets commitment date
The Oklahoma Sooners are having a nice month of July. They’ve picked up three commitments and could earn another pledge on Friday when No. 1 running back Taylor Tatum announces his decision.
I addition, another target is looking to make his decision before the end of July. That is 2024 offensive lineman Eugene Brooks, a four-star prospect according to Rivals who ranks No. 12 among guards in the country.
Brooks plans to announce his decision on Tuesday, July 25. It is down to Oklahoma and Texas.
Brooks started his career at Las Vegas Desert Pines, the same school that produced Oklahoma’s Jovantae Barnes. Las Vegas is an area the Sooners have recruited very well with DeMarco Murray opening the door to talented prospects in the area.
Brooks will finish his career at Sierra Canyon in California, and he ranks as the No. 31 prospect in the state.
While Texas is still involved, each of the three major recruiting sites are predicting a win for the Oklahoma Sooners.
“I was there my sophomore year,” Brooks told 247Sports Greg Biggins. “I really like coach (Bill) Bedenbaugh and DeMarco Murray and connected really well with the whole staff there.
“I know some of the players on the team already, and they’re all excited about the direction the program is going in now. I see a lot of opportunity there, and just like with Texas, I have a great comfort level on campus.”

It’s a Red River Showdown for the talented offensive line target. At the moment, the Sooners have one offensive lineman committed in the 2024 recruiting cycle, Isaiah Autry. Though they took a big class in the 2023 cycle, and we’ve yet to see the 2022 guys take the field, you can never have enough good linemen.
They’ve been trending in a positive direction for Eugene Brooks for some time, but the Sooners could use another win up front to create an avalanche of commitments for Bill Bedenbaugh and the offensive line.
