Hello, Lincoln Riley.
The Oklahoma head coach lost his head honcho of the 2021 recruiting class when former No. 1 quarterback Brock Vandagriff de-committed on Jan. 1. Now, the current No. 1 quarterback in the 2021 recruiting class is set to visit.
Caleb Williams, the third overall prospect and top quarterback in the 2021 recruiting class according to Rivals, will reportedly visit Oklahoma from March 5-7. It was first reported by 247Sports director of recruiting Steve Wiltfong and later confirmed by Rivals.com east coast recruiting analyst Adam Friedman.

Williams is one of two quarterbacks who were offered by Riley in the 2021 recruiting class. He visited Oklahoma after Brock Vandagriff committed in the spring of 2019. The upcoming visit will be his first without the Sooners having a quarterback committed and the first as Riley’s main target in the class.
LSU was the perceived leader for Williams until offensive wizard Joe Brady moved up to the NFL with the Carolina Panthers.
Clemson is another at the top of the race, but Dabo Swinney is bringing in the No. 2 quarterback in the 2020 class as the heir apparent to Trevor Lawrence. If we learned anything about that in 2020, Oklahoma was unable to snatch Bryce Young due to Spencer Rattler becoming a Sooner in the 2019 class.
Oklahoma only has three commitments thus far in the 2021 recruiting class.
