Jeff Lebby and Sooners offense gain a commitment from talented but raw wide receiver out of Florida.
The Oklahoma Sooners have done everything possible as a program to get off the mat since getting knocked down by the departure of their former head coach. They’ve made waves through their recruiting efforts over the last two weeks and have put themselves back in the top 10 of the 2022 recruiting cycle, according to 247Sports and On 3 Recruiting.
They’ve lost some talent in the next two classes, but they are doing everything possible to pick up the pieces. One big piece to the future includes landing the commitment of a 6-foot-5 wide receiver from Florida in the form of Jayden Gibson.

The consensus four-star recruit, Jayden Gibson, is a big pickup (literally) for a Sooners offense undertaking a bit of a reshuffling under their new offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby. Lebby has already secured a commitment from 2022 QB prospect Nick Evers. Gibson, like Evers, was a one-time Florida commit with both native Floridians backing off their Gators pledge upon the hiring of Billy Napier to take over the Gators program replacing Dan Mullen.
Gibson brings elite size to the Sooners’ wide receiver room and a frame that can stand to spend some serious time in a college nutrition program and some quality time with one Jerry Schmidt of the Sooners strength and conditioning program. His length and ability to track the ball will make him a fan favorite of the quarterbacks that get the privilege to throw to him. If nothing else, while he continues to develop, he could be an immediate red zone asset heading into next season with Jadon Haselwood now with the Arkansas Razorbacks. Both were threats in the red zone for the Sooners this past season.

Savion Red could be a diamond in the rough.
With early signing day just seven days away, there have been early indications that Texas is going to hit some major home runs.
The Longhorns have been on the receiving end of multiple crystal balls over the past week, as they received one for five-star offensive lineman Kelvin Banks, four-star offensive lineman Malik Agbo, and four-star safety Larry Turner-Gooden.
On Wednesday, Texas received more positive news on the recruiting trail, as a crystal ball prediction was entered in their favor for do-it-all athlete and three-star wide receiver Savion Red. The former SMU commit was offered by the Longhorns just days after his decommitment, and has the makings of a receiver who can also be utilized as gadget player.
During his time at Grand Prairie High School, Red was making plays all over the field, as he played both quarterback and receiver.
With someone as dynamic as he is, partnered up with an offensive mind like Steve Sarkisian, only great things can happen. Red seems like a perfect fit for Sarkisian’s offense and will only bolster this 2022 class.
