Oklahoma inks 4-star speedster Jaquaize Pettaway

Oklahoma inks four-star wide receiver Jaquaize Pettaway, who chose Oklahoma over Texas over the summer.

The early signing period is underway, and the Oklahoma Sooners are beginning to put pen to paper with their [autotag]2023 recruiting class[/autotag].

One of their fastest prospects is set to join the program. Four-star wide receiver [autotag]Jaquaize Pettaway[/autotag] is officially a Sooner as he signed his national letter of intent.

Pettaway is a consensus four-star across the board and is widely known for his speed and breakaway ability. He’s dynamic with the ball in his hands and could blossom into a major playmaker for the Sooners over the next few years.

Since committing to Oklahoma this summer, Pettaway has been rock solid in his commitment. His high school season ended a little sooner than his peers, but Pettaway is a bonafide star.

Pettaway committed over the summer as part of Oklahoma’s legendary summer recruiting run that had the entire college football world talking. He chose Oklahoma over Texas and has remained steadfast in that commitment. He ranks 53rd nationally in the 247Sports rankings and is No. 66 overall in the 247 composite rankings. Pettaway comes to Norman as the No. 11 wide receiver in the country.

Pettaway stands 5-foot-11 and has obvious room to grow a little more and add weight to the sub-200-pound frame he carries. His speed, 10.5 in the 100 meters, and his stop-and-start ability make him an early candidate for playing time next year. He wins most often by getting vertical, which is a significant component of Oklahoma’s passing identity. He also can be an asset in the return game or in the screen game.

With vacancies in the wide receiver room due to graduation, transfers, and the possibility of Marvin Mims entering the draft, Pettaway has multiple avenues to playing time in 2023.
