Where do the Oklahoma Sooners land in the updated On3 Sports team recruiting rankings?
The Oklahoma Sooners are sitting pretty with the 2023 recruiting class in the final full week of August. As things stand on August 21, they have 20 players pledged to join them next year, led by five-star quarterback Jackson Arnold.
EDGE rusher Adepoju Adebawore recently received five-star status from On3 Recruiting and in the 247Sports Composite, giving Oklahoma their first recruiting class with two five-star players since the 2019 cycle.
This Friday, August 26, targets Makari Vickers and Anthony Evans are expected to make their commitments. As things stand right now, the Sooners look to be the leaders in the recruiting battle. A lot can change in a week, but things are looking good for Brent Venables and his staff.
In addition to those pledges, the Sooners are still in a favorable position for four-star wide receiver Malachi Coleman and five-star defensive lineman David Hicks. Additionally, Oklahoma is still in the thick of it for blue chip running back Stacey Gage.
On3 Recruiting recently updated their database so let’s see where the Sooners land in their team recruiting rankings.
