Lee Davis joins Sooners as their Director of On-Campus recruiting

Lee Davis takes over as the Oklahoma Sooners Director of On-Campus Recruiting.

While the on-field staff has finally found its footing and is stocked on both sides of the ball, behind the scenes, the Oklahoma Sooners are building a team that can help Oklahoma take another step forward in the recruiting world.

Lee Davis joins the Sooners as their Director of On-Campus Recruiting.

Davis is an Alabama alum and worked as a student assistant under Nick Saban. Her most recent job had her in Gainesville as the Director of Recruiting Operations for four years under Dan Mullen. Before that, she was the coordinator of recruiting operations at Mississippi State from 2011 to 2017.

Inside the Gators wrote a feature piece describing Davis’ role in detail. In many ways, Davis replaces Annie Hanson, who held the same position at Oklahoma before following Lincoln Riley to take the same position at USC.

Davis has a lot of experience and joins an Oklahoma staff ready to embark on multiple months of heavy recruiting.

Davis is already familiar with a few Oklahoma players and their families. Most notably, quarterback Nick Evers and wide receiver Jayden Gibson. Before the Gators coaching change, Evers and Gibson were committed to Florida and Dan Mullen. Like Oklahoma lost commitments after their coaching change, the Sooners this time benefitted from the transition at Florida, landing commitments from Evers and Gibson.

With Davis in the fold and J.R. Sandlin as the head of Player Personnel and Recruiting, the Sooners have revamped the entire recruiting backbone of their program from a year ago. With an eye to 2023 and 2024, we’ll be closely following Davis and Sandlin as they look to make their mark on Oklahoma’s recruiting efforts.
