On Tuesday afternoon the Oklahoma Sooners took a hit on the recruiting front with the recent commitment from Kristopher Ross. The three-star defensive tackle from North Shore High School in Houston, Texas, decided to pursue his collegiate career with the Longhorns.
Three-star defensive tackle Kristopher Ross becomes the first lineman to commit to the University of Texas in the 2022 cycle. The other six commits range from quarterback, running back, receiver, linebacker or defensive back.
