As the focus shifts to the 2022 recruiting cycle, the Oklahoma Sooners are going nationwide in their hunt for top athletes. The latest offer is to Bergen Catholic (Oradell, New Jersey) cornerback Jayden Bellamy. He seems to be a trendy name of late. The Sooners offered the three-star cornerback on Tuesday.
Two of the top cornerbacks from the 2020 team, Tre Norwood and Tre Brown, opted to chase their NFL dreams while Brendan “Bookie” Radley-Hiles has put his name in the transfer portal. There could be ample opportunity for Bellamy to get into the competition starting in the 2022 offseason.
Bellamy possesses the size and length coaches will love as a boundary cornerback. A two-way player, cornerback and wide receiver, Bellamy possesses the hands to create turnovers through interceptions and batted balls. He understands the routes of the players he covered and shows off his football IQ by identifying where the quarterback wants to go with the ball. The three-star cornerback also shows off the ability to close on the ball or the ball carrier. A name to watch in the coming months.
He only holds eight offers at this point, so Bellamy could be one of the hidden gems that find their way to Norman.
