Oklahoma has offered under-the-radar 2025 athlete Marcus James. Though he’s an under-evaluated prospect at the moment, he might be a breakout player for the 2025 class. James comes from Carl Albert High School in Midwest City.
His recruitment should heat up over the summer and going into his junior year. He looks like he could play offense or defense at the next level. He stands at 6-foot-4 and weighs 210 pounds. With Brandon Hall and Brent Venables the primary recruiters, it looks like safety is where the Sooners see James fitting best. However, with his size and athleticism, James could plug in as the Sooners’ cheetah as well.
Right now he only has four scholarship offers from UTSA, Tulsa, Oklahoma State, and Oklahoma. That number is going to go rise, he just needs to get more eyes on him as a prospect.
After an amazing phone call with @coach_bhall & @CoachVenables I am beyond excited to say I have received an offer to play football at the University of Oklahoma.@Bdrumm_Rivals @MohrRecruiting @PrepRedzoneOK @adamgorney @BHoward_11 @DonnieBaggs_ @Coach_Mike_D @CAHS_FOOTBALL17 pic.twitter.com/DvafrxLF9p

What stands out the most from his game tape is how athletic he is. He obviously has the size, but he can really move too.
Oklahoma was smart to get in on the ground floor of James’ recruitment because he seems like he’s going to blow up in the recruiting space. The Sooners have made it a point to target long and tall athletes that could play linebacker, safety, or cheetah and James certainly fits the bill.
