Five-star OG Bryce Foster visits Oklahoma, sets commitment date 4 days later

The world of recruiting in 2020 is wild, but OU may be benefiting from the dead period. Bryce Foster has announced his commitment date.

The world of recruiting in 2020 is wild, but Oklahoma may be benefitting from the dead period.

Recruits are not allowed to go through a normal visit to a school—officially or unofficially. They can, however, pay for a visit on their own dime without getting a campus tour from coaches or having coaches show them around a facility.

This happened for the Sooner Summit, and it happened for Bedlam.

Five-star offensive guard Bryce Foster took in Oklahoma’s 41-13 win over Oklahoma State, according to a report from OU Insider’s Brandon Drumm. It was the first time Foster had traveled to Norman, Oklahoma, since right before COVID-19 shut recruiting down.

Four days after his most recent visit, Foster announced he would reveal where he is heading to play college football on Dec. 18.

Oklahoma is in the running for the five-star offensive guard along with LSU, Oregon, Texas and Texas A&M.

The Sooners have one committed offensive lineman, Cullen Montgomery, and are after five-star offensive tackle Tristan Leigh, four-star offensive tackle Savion Byrd and three-star offensive lineman Remington Strickland. Oklahoma could potentially lose Adrian Ealy, Creed Humphrey, Tyrese Robinson and Marquis Hayes to the NFL depending on how each grades out after the season.

Rivals considers Foster a five-star prospect. He is rated as the ninth-best player in the 2021 recruiting class, the No. 1 offensive guard and No. 2 player in the state of Texas.

Oklahoma has 15 commitments in the 2021 recruiting class and has the 14th overall ranked recruiting class.
