The Oklahoma Sooners and the Oregon Ducks have created an intriguing rivalry on the recruiting trail since Brent Venables and Dan Lanning arrived in their respective spots.
Oregon flipped wide receiver [autotag]Ashton Cozart[/autotag] in the 2022 class, and the Sooners earned the signature of [autotag]Peyton Bowen[/autotag]. Bowen was committed to Notre Dame but, during the early signing period, flipped his commitment to the Ducks before ultimately signing with the Sooners.
Just last week, Oregon pulled a commitment from [autotag]Aaron Flowers[/autotag], who had been trending toward the Sooners for several months.
Now they seem to be at the table again, this time for 2024 four-star offensive tackle [autotag]Fox Crader[/autotag]. Crader is committed to the Ducks, but just spent some time in Norman and earned an offer from [autotag]Brent Venables[/autotag], [autotag]Bill Bedenbaugh[/autotag], and the Sooners.
Crader hails from Vancouver, Wash., and is a consensus four-star player. He’s the No. 151 player in the Top247 and ranks No. 72 in the On300. Oklahoma’s had some success recruiting Washington since Venables arrived with the additions of [autotag]Heath Ozaeta[/autotag] and [autotag]Jasaiah Wagoner[/autotag] in the 2023 recruiting class.
Crader has the athleticism, length, and physicality to be a dynamic player at offensive tackle. His basketball background shows up on tape, where he displays good lateral agility and the ability to play in space.
