Head coach Lincoln Riley and running backs coach DeMarco Murray will have another top playmaker set to visit Norman. Gavin Sawchuk of Valor Christian in Littleton, Colorado, is another top target for the Sooners in the 2022 recruiting class. The team already received a commitment from Raleek Brown and could add Sawchuk later in the cycle.
According to 247Sports, the No. 2 rated running back of the class has set four official visits. Sawchuk will visit Norman during the annual ‘ChampU BBQ’ event from June 18-20.
Official visits have been locked in with Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma and USC, according to Sawchuk’s father, Kevin.
Oklahoma, whose coaches have had the benefit of being the last staff to meet with Sawchuk in person during this recruitment, holds the momentum in the 247Sports Crystal Ball with all five forecasts. The Sooners have already made noise out West in the cycle by grabbing a pledge from four-star all-purpose back Raleek Brown of Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei.
