5-Star Offensive Tackle Picks Oklahoma Football Over Texas, Texas A&M
Oklahoma football has landed a massive recruiting win — literally and figuratively. The Sooners secured a commitment from 5-star offensive tackle and Texas native (Name Placeholder), a towering 6-foot-5, 300-pound lineman from Lewisville High School (TX), who chose Oklahoma over in-state powerhouses Texas and Texas A&M.
This decision marks a major statement for head coach Brent Venables and offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh, who continue to dominate the trenches in recruiting. The Sooners have built a strong reputation for developing elite offensive linemen, and this latest addition could be another cornerstone for their future in the SEC.
“I felt like Oklahoma was home,” the 5-star tackle said during his announcement. “Coach Venables and Coach Bedenbaugh made it clear that I’d be developed on and off the field. The culture, the people, the energy — it all just felt right.”
The commitment sends shockwaves through the region’s recruiting scene. Both Texas and Texas A&M had made strong pushes to keep the Lewisville star in-state, but the Sooners’ combination of tradition, player development, and SEC trajectory ultimately won out.
With his size, strength, and agility, the newest Sooner commit projects as a future anchor on the offensive line potentially the kind of player who could start early and make an NFL leap down the road.
For Oklahoma fans, this is another reminder that the Sooners remain an elite recruiting force as they prepare for life in the SEC. And for the Sooners’ rivals down south, it’s a painful loss of one of Texas’ premier homegrown talents.
Sooner Nation celebrates tonight — they just got bigger, stronger, and even more SEC-ready.
