The Oklahoma Sooners are continuing their momentum on the recruiting trail. While 2024 is at the forefront of everyone’s mind, OU is also making headway on the 2025 recruiting cycle.
Gus Cordova is an under-the-radar prospect, with just two offers on his list. Baylor and the Oklahoma Sooners are taking an early run at the 6-foot-5, 250-pound defensive end. One can surmise that the kid is a pretty good player if Dave Aranda and Brent Venables are in pursuit.
Cordova’s length is a problem for opposing offensive tackles and he has great power at the point of attack. His long arms allow him to cut down running angles to the edge when the quarterback or running back attempt to break contain. He’s a disciplined player in the read-option game, holding his edge until the quarterback makes the decision with the football.
Though he’s an unrated prospect with the major recruiting sites, he will not stay that way for long. Once he gets his evaluation, he could be a four-star prospect across the board.
OUInsider’s Parker Thune issued a prediction favoring the Oklahoma Sooners not long after their offer became public, so it’s safe to say the Sooners are the front-runner for the Austin, Texas native.
While it’s still early in the 2025 cycle, it looks like the Sooners are in a good spot to land Cordova.
