Four-star WR Cortez Mills sets commitment date

Four-star WR Cortez Mills set to decide his college destination on July 1.

July 1 could be an incredible day of celebration for the Oklahoma Sooners. The day marks the school’s first official day as members of the SEC. A number of festivities will take place in Norman and Tulsa to commemorate the day.

While Brent Venables and his staff will be excited and celebrating the move into the new conference, they’ll also focus on an announcement from four-star wide receiver Cortez Mills.

Mills plans to announce his college decision on July 1, choosing among  Oklahoma, Clemson, LSU, Florida and Nebraska.

Mills, a native of Florida, stands 6-foot-1, but he plays much bigger than that. He will go up and win the 50/50 balls and has excellent vertical speed to beat defenders deep. He was the top receiver as a junior for a Homestead program that played for a Florida 3M title. Mills caught 79 passes for 1,640 yards and 18 TDs that season.

Ranked the No. 11 wideout on the 247Sports composite, Mills was considered a very strong Clemson lean at one point. Though many projections remain in their favor, things have taken a significant turn.

Oklahoma hosted Mills for an official visit on June 14. Things went well for the Sooners, and it’s simply becoming foolish to count out [autotag]Emmett Jones[/autotag] when recruiting wide receivers. The Sooners have put themselves in a significant position to win the recruiting battle against the Tigers.

Mills would likely be the last wide receiver for this year’s class, wrapping up Oklahoma’s efforts for 2025 and allowing them to move on and focus on 2026.
