Oklahoma’s number one recruiting target at the receiver position for the class of 2024 is Bryant Wesco, a 6-foot-2 receiver out of Midlothian, Texas. Wesco camped with Oklahoma in the summer of 2022 and earned an offer. He’s seen his stock rise in the recruiting world from being lightly recruited to being rated as a top 100 player in the nation. He’s gone from a regional recruit to a national recruit that any school in America would want.
Wesco’s stock has never been higher as a high school prospect as 247Sports updated their site rankings and has Wesco as the 9th ranked prospect in the entire class of 2024. Previously, he was the No. 66 prospect according to 247Sports and leaped 57 spots to earn his fifth star and top 10 ranking.
Oklahoma has positioned itself to win the race for Wesco largely due to the addition of new wide receivers coach Emmett Jones. He’s profoundly impacted the recruiting trail, especially in Texas. Oklahoma has done a significant bit of heavy lifting in the recruitment for Wesco and is all but assured of an official visit from the explosive pass catcher.
The Sooners’ biggest competition for [autotag]Bryant Wesco[/autotag] now seems to be Big 12 foe TCU, who has hosted him for unofficial visits and has recruited him since last year. The Horned Frogs’ receivers coach is former Sooner Malcolm Kelly. This is setting up an interesting battle as a Sooner recruits against his alma mater for a highly coveted prospect.
Currently, Oklahoma seems to have the top spot if the recruiting predictions mean anything to those following the recruitment. All three of the 247Sports crystal balls favor Wesco becoming a Sooner, while a Rivals FutureCast also sees him becoming a Sooner before all is said and done.
If the Sooners were to land Wesco, he’d be the first five-star receiver at Oklahoma since 2019, when the Sooners signed two in Jadon Haselwood and Theo Wease.
