We are days away from the start of one of the biggest recruiting weekends of the year.
This weekend could also bring a commitment from Stacy Gage, a four-star running back from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Gage released his top five on Wednesday, and it consisted of the Sooners, UCF, Penn State, Florida and Colorado.
Picking a home this Saturday!! 💫 https://t.co/WuT8BJ3jlZ

He also announced he’ll be committing this Saturday, June 10.
It seems like an uphill battle for running back coach DeMarco Murray and Co.; 247Sports and On3 have UCF as the prohibitive favorite. Rivals has the Sooners as a slight favorite.
247Sports director of scouting Andrew Ivins broke down Gage’s game by saying:
A thicker, tempo-based runner with adequate burst and plenty of power. Quickly processes what’s in front of him and has a knack for finding yardage even when the blocking isn’t there. Short-stepping run style allows him to shake would-be tacklers while a well-timed spin move makes a threat to score anytime he reaches the second level. Tends to always fall forward, which seems to be a byproduct of his natural forward lean and impressive leg drive. – Ivins, 247Sports director of scouting
No doubt the Sooners would love to add Gage to their running back room. With previous recruiting news involving Bryant Wesco and Sammy Brown, Sooner fans would love nothing more than to get some kind of positive recruiting news.
