The early signing period is underway, and the Oklahoma Sooners are beginning to put pen to paper with their [autotag]2023 recruiting class[/autotag].
Oklahoma’s signing day has gotten off to an excellent start with many of their prospects already submitting their national letters of intent. Oklahoma’s best offensive line commit is now on board with four-star offensive tackle Cayden Green officially a Sooner.
Green, is a massive commit, both figuratively and literally. His signing represents the first top 100 offensive lineman the Sooners have signed since Savion Byrd in 2021. At Green’s size, he projects as a great offensive tackle and would have the ability to slide inside and play guard.
Oklahoma earned Green’s commitment in their historic recruiting month of July as they beat out the home state school of Missouri, LSU, and Nebraska as well.
As 247Sports’ 68th best prospect and ranking No. 80 in the 247Sports composite, Cayden Green is a monumental get for the Oklahoma Sooners. Considering they lost three starting offensive linemen to the NFL draft, Cayden Green adds some much-needed talent and depth as they attempt to reload up front.

For next year, it’s unlikely Green figures to be a significant part of Bill Bedenbaugh’s offensive line rotation. Still, with two open spots at tackle and a spot at right guard open due to the graduation of Chris Murray, there are opportunities if Green can blow the team away. It’s more likely he’s a fringe name on the two-deep to start the season next year.
