The Oklahoma Sooners are building quite the pipeline out of the Kansas City area. In the 2023 cycle, Brent Venables and his squad brought in five-star defensive end [autotag]Adepoju Adebawore[/autotag] and four-star offensive tackle [autotag]Cayden Green[/autotag]. In the 2024 recruiting cycle, they look like the frontrunners for five-star defensive lineman [autotag]Williams Nwaneri[/autotag].
Nwaneri plays at the same Lee’s Summit North High School that Cayden Green came out of, and the Sooners look to be dipping back into that well for the 2025 recruiting cycle.
Oklahoma recently offered defensive tackle [autotag]Ka’Mori Moore[/autotag]. He’s currently an unrated prospect out of Lee’s Summit North, but someone who will be highly regarded by the end of the 2025 cycle.
Just a few days after his offer was made public, Parker Thune of OUInsiders issued a Rivals FutureCast favoring the Sooners in his recruitment.
Moore stands 6-foot-1 and weighs 321 pounds, according to Rivals. It’s early in his recruitment, but he holds offers from Nebraska and Iowa State as well. And as more programs become aware of Moore, expect his offer sheet to grow.
A legit nose tackle, Moore will be a force at the point of attack and give the Sooners someone to play over the center in Brent Venables’ defense in three or four-man fronts.
While it’s early in the 2025 recruiting cycle, Oklahoma’s making progress to build that class. They’ve already received commitments from four-star quarterback Kevin Sperry and four-star wide receiver Gracen Harris. The Sooners’ two commitments have them No. 5 in the 247Sports team recruiting rankings for the cycle.
It looks like Todd Bates and the Sooners have made a significant impression in the recruitment of Moore. A prediction not long after an offer bodes well for the Sooners prospects of landing the defensive tackle out of Lee’s Summit.
