Sooners among top 5 for 2023’s No. 1 wide receiver, sets decision date

The top wide receiver in the 2023 recruiting cycle narrowed his list to five and set a commitment date for Aug. 22.

The Oklahoma Sooners have had a huge 2023 recruiting cycle, landing Malachi Nelson, Treyaun Webb, Makai Lemon and Luke Hasz.

They’re the favorites to get a commitment from 2023 athlete DeAndre Moore who just joined Nelson and Lemon at Los Alamitos High School in California. According to 247Sports crystal ball, the Sooners also have the inside track at landing 2023’s No. 1 wide receiver, Brandon Inniss, out of Florida.

Already with the No. 1 recruiting class early in the 2023 cycle, Lincoln Riley and the Sooners continue swinging for the fences to put a strong lineup around 2023’s No. 2 quarterback Malachi Nelson.

If the Sooners land Inniss, it would set the stage for an all-time recruiting class for the University of Oklahoma and easily be Riley’s best.

Andrew Ivins, a Southeast Recruiting Analyst for 247Sports, had this to say about Inniss:

Promising build for a young receiver. A two-year contributor at the varsity level that is known for his big-play ability. Understands the importance of setting up and selling routes. Mixes gears well. Attacks the ball in the air and often times becomes a bigger target for quarterbacks than his size would initially suggest. Might lack a true top gear, but plays fast in pads and can get behind a defense. Has run in the 4.6s on the lasers in the 40-yard dash. Fluid when it comes to changing directions. Good in the open field after a catch. Getting better at breaking tackles. Willing blocker, although that’s an area of his game he can also keep improving. The type of prospect that many college coaches have already circled as a priority for them in South Florida. Should develop into a multi-year starter at a Top 25 program level given skillset and athletic profile. Has a chance to eventually play on Sundays. – Ivins

Inniss announced via his Twitter account today that he plans to make his commitment decision known on Aug. 22 on CBS.
