The Oklahoma Sooners kicked off Tuesday with a bang: Sierra Canyon High School offensive lineman Eugene Brooks committed to the Sooners over the Texas Longhorns.
Brooks is a mammoth offensive lineman. He stands 6 feet, 3 inches and 320 pounds. He has impressive strength and mauls opposing defenders. However, he needs to work on his technique. He’s a work in progress.
We’ve been watching Brooks since he was a freshman playing at Las Vegas Desert Pines and can count on less than one hand how many one on one reps he has lost on the camp or 5v5 circuit. He’s a naturally strong kid with good feet and is tough to beat with a bull or speed rush. We’ve watched him take reps at both guard and tackle and he wins the majority of his reps with an opposing defensive lineman not even getting past the line of scrimmage. – Greg Biggins 247Sports
Brooks makes the 10th commitment for the Sooners since the ChampU BBQ in late June. He’s the second offensive lineman to commit to the class after Isaiah Autry broke the ice in April.

The Sooners are on an impressive run and hope to close the month strongly. Four-star safety Mykel Patterson-McDonald is next on the schedule. He plans to announce his decision on Monday (July 31).
After missing on Casey Poe and Harrison Utley, this was a big win for Bill Bedenbaugh and company. He needs to develop, but Bedenbaugh has proven capable of that task in his time as the offensive line coach at Oklahoma.
