The 2022 recruiting cycle is in full swing and while the Oklahoma Sooners had some momentum early, the Texas Longhorns are picking it up as of late. The latest being four-star safety of Aledo (Texas) deciding to stay home and commit to the Sooners’ biggest rivals.
Bryan Allen is the No. 6 safety of the class and No. 88 player overall. This makes the seventh commit for the Longhorns in the 2022 cycle. Oklahoma currently has six commits and could be narrowing in on another, it remains to be seen. At defensive back, OU made the recent top list for five-star prospect and No. 1 overall safety in the class, Jacoby Mathews.
All in all, the Sooners have a total of 15 offers out to the 2022 class at safety. Along with Mathews, OU has offers to Kamari Wilson of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, as well as Chace Biddle of Garland. Biddle holds the Sooners in high regard and he is the teammate of current commit Jordan Hudson. He could become a priority target for Alex Grinch if they whiff on Wilson and/or Mathews.

In the current class, the Sooners might add a safety in recent Texas A&M decommit Kendal Daniels. He was released from his letter of intent with the Aggies and Oklahoma is seen as the front-runner to land the Oklahoma target out of Beggs. That is another situation to monitor moving forward as the spring progresses. No reason to even worry at this point in time.
