Sooners land commitment from of 2025 four-star CB Courtland Guillory

Oklahoma continues their success on the recruiting trail landing a commitment from 2025 four-star cornerback Courtland Guillory.

Jay Valai has been a pretty productive recruiter during his time as the Sooners cornerbacks coach. He has recruited a number of four-star players to Norman, reshaping the cornerback depth chart in the process.

On Sunday, Valai nailed down another talented cornerback prospect. [autotag]Courtland Guillory[/autotag], a four-star cornerback from Klein Oak, Texas, announced his commitment to the Oklahoma Sooners.

The talented corner chose the Sooners over Texas, Texas A&M and UCF.

Guillory is rated No. 364 overall in the[autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag]. The four-star also ranks as the No. 31 cornerback in the nation and a top-60 player in Texas.

He excels using his long frame to disrupt plays and clog throwing windows. He is 6-feet tall and uses every inch to his advantage. He’s a physical player for the position, and he looks to put a significant hit on the ball carrier. Guillory does a great job tracking the football in the air and times his attack well.

247Sports scouting analyst Gabe Brooks believes he can improve his quick-twitch athleticism, which would help raise his ceiling as a player. He’s undoubtedly a high-major football player, and the Sooners will try to realize the rest of his potential,

Guillory has long been one of the top corners on Oklahoma’s board for 2025. Oklahoma offered in January and has been in the mix since. In recent weeks, a number of predictions favored the Sooners. Now he pledged to the Sooners, joining the No. 6 recruiting class in the nation.

He becomes the third defensive back to join the Sooners for 2025, along with[autotag]Marcus Wimberly[/autotag] and[autotag]Maliek Hawkins[/autotag]. Both committed earlier this spring. With Guillory in the fold, the Sooners turn their attention to defensive backs [autotag]Cobey Sellers[/autotag], [autotag]Jonah Williams[/autotag] and [autotag]Omarion Robinson[/autotag].

Four-star cornerback Courtland Guillory sets commitment date

The Sooners are in a great spot in their recruitment of four-star cornerback Courtland Guillory who set his commitment date.

The spring game has become a key event for the Oklahoma Sooners in their recruiting pursuits. This past weekend, they hosted four-star cornerback [autotag]Courtland Guillory[/autotag] out of Klein Oak High School.

In the aftermath, several predictions came through favoring the Oklahoma Sooners in Gullory’s recruitment. On Sunday, four predictions from 247Sports and Rivals made Oklahoma the team to beat.

On Wednesday, Guillory announced he’d be making his commitment decision on Sunday, April 28.

The Sooners were included in Guillory’s top four alongside Texas, Texas A&M, and UCF.

He’s a physical cornerback who attacks the ball in the air and the ball carrier in the run game with equal aggressiveness. In his aggressive play style, Guillory plays sound football, taking good angles in pursuit in the running game and staying in phase when playing the ball in the air.

Oklahoma’s entire defensive staff was down in Texas, visiting with the Guillory as they tried to close on a blue-chip prospect for the [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag].

Notre Dame to visit three top-10 2025 Indiana recruits

Hope at least one of them ends up with the Irish.

When Micah Shrewsberry took over as Notre Dame coach, he vowed to heavily recruit within Indiana. After all, that’s where he’s from and where Notre Dame is located. He’s done well with that so far with five players from the Hoosier State on this past season’s team, including ACC Rookie of the Year [autotag]Markus Burton[/autotag].

Shrewsberry isn’t satisfied with his current number of Indiana players though. That’s why this week, he’s hosting visits with three recruits from the state, all of which rank in the top 10 of its 2025 class according to 247Sports. One tweet after another from multiple accounts confirms this:

For those keeping score at home, that’s one forward and two guards the Irish are looking to land. As you can see from these tweets though, they already are have some stiff competition in other programs. Virginia Tech seems particularly in on Mullins. Good luck to Shreswsberry and his staff with these meetings.

Oklahoma Sooners land prediction for 4-star defensive lineman

The Oklahoma Sooners continue to trend in a positive direction for 2025 interior defensive lineman Kole Briehler.

The Oklahoma Sooners are off to a great start with the [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag]. The Sooners have already landed 13 commitments, and we haven’t even hit summer yet.

This is expected to be the smallest class since [autotag]Brent Venables[/autotag] took over, which means there aren’t many spots left. But they’re still working to land several more blue-chip prospects. On Tuesday, Rivals national recruiting director and rankings analyst Adam Friedman issued a futurecast favoring the Sooners for [autotag]Kole Briehler[/autotag].

[autotag]Kole Briehler[/autotag] is the No. 18 defensive lineman in 2025, according to Rivals, and the No. 7 player in the state of New Jersey. The three main players in his recruitment are the Sooners, the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Stanford Cardinals.

Now, that doesn’t mean other teams can’t make their way onto the field, but those three getting the most buzz. According to On3’s prediction machine, the Sooners hold a slight lead over the Buckeyes. Briehler also has notable offers from Miami, Virginia Tech, Duke, Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Syracuse, USC, West Virginia, Vanderbilt and Wisconsin.

He has official visits set up with all three schools in June; the Sooners get the last crack on June 21, 2024. That would be his third visit to Norman since November.

If the Sooners can earn his pledge, Briehler would join [autotag]Ka’Mori Moore[/autotag] and [autotag]Trent Wilson[/autotag] for the Sooners interior defensive line. Two of them would be coming from the Northeast.

There’s still a lot of time between now and the December early signing period but this would be a big recruiting win if [autotag]Todd Bates[/autotag] and company are able to pull it off.

3-star in-state product predicted to go to Oklahoma

The Oklahoma Sooners continue to build momentum in the recruitment of 2025 three-star offensive lineman Antoni Ogumoro.

Since [autotag]Brent Venables[/autotag] took over as head coach of the Oklahoma Sooners, the staff has prioritized in-state prospects in recruiting. That has been no different this year: Four of their 13 commits are from Oklahoma. They’re currently the heavy favorite for local talents C.J. Nickson and Trystan Haynes, two of the top three players in the state.

In the [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag], the Sooners are also prioritizing the offensive line, hoping to have as star-studded a class as the defensive line was in 2024. To that end, the Sooners have been pursuing Antoni Ogumoro, a three-star prospect out of Elgin, Oklahoma.

Since the spring game, the Sooners have kept their momentum with Ogumoro despite his impressive list of growing offers. On3 and SoonerScoop’s Josh McCuistion issued a prediction favoring the Sooners this week. That was followed by a crystal ball prediction from 247Sports and Sooners Illustrated’s Collin Kennedy on Tuesday.

Ogumoro is ranked as the No. 25 interior offensive lineman in the country. He’s the No. 10 player in the state of Oklahoma. He has good size at 6 feet, 5 inches and around 315 pounds, according to Ogumoro.

The Sooners are the overwhelming favorites for Ogumoro. According to the On3 recruiting prediction machine.

He has made three tips to Norman, including his official visit for the spring game. He has visits scheduled with Kansas State and Tennessee in May and is planning to commit on May 21. Oklahoma State, Missouri, North Carolina, Cincinnati, Iowa State, NC State, Duke and TCU are a few of the notable teams that have offered Ogumoro.

If the Sooners can survive both of those trips, they should be in a good spot to land a commitment.

Sooners pick up On3 prediction for underrated in-state offensive line prospect

After a successful spring game weekend, the Oklahoma Sooners picked up an On3 prediction for the underrated Antoni Ogumoro.

The Oklahoma Sooners have made significant progress for the [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag]. One area where the Sooners are thriving on the recruiting trail is along the offensive line. They hold commitments from [autotag]Owen Hollenbeck[/autotag] and [autotag]Ryan Fodje[/autotag] and have put themselves in strong standing with blue-chip prospects like [autotag]Ty Haywood[/autotag] and [autotag]Michael Fasusi[/autotag].

The Sooners have also moved the needle for one of the more under-the-radar prospects in the 2025 class, [autotag]Antoni Ogumoro[/autotag]. After spending time with the Sooners at the Oklahoma spring game, Josh McCuistion of SoonerScoop and On3 issued an On3 prediction favoring the Sooners.

Ogumoro is considered a three-star prospect by Rivals and On3 but has the potential to end up much higher in the 2025 recruiting rankings. On3 considers Ogumoro the No. 10 player in the state of Oklahoma and a top 25 interior offensive line prospect in the country.

The Elgin, Okla. product hasn’t been playing offensive line for very long, but he has all the tools to be a fantastic offensive lineman at the collegiate level.

Here’s what I had to say about Antoni Ogumoro back in March.

Omugoro is a legit athlete with the quickness and agility to be a star at the collegiate level. He moves well for someone 6-foot-5 and 290 pounds. A basketball player as well for Elgin, he’s also a physical offensive lineman at the point of attack.

Ogumoro shouldn’t be able to move the way he does at his size, but he’s fluid, athletic, and displays good footwork. His skills on the basketball court have translated better to the offensive line than they did to the defensive front, where he started out as a football player.

Don’t let the ranking or star status fool you. Ogumoro is a player. By the end of the cycle, he should be in blue-chip territory.

Ogumoro has set a commitment date for May 21, 2024. He holds offers from Oklahoma, Missouri, Oklahoma State, Tennessee, Kansas State, UNC, TCU, Virginia Tech, Duke, Cincinnati, and Iowa State.

One of LSU’s top commitments for the 2025 recruiting class has been recognized as the No. 1 running back in his class by On3.

One of LSU’s top commitments for the 2025 recruiting class has been recognized as the No. 1 running back in his class by On3.

[autotag]Harlem Berry[/autotag] is a 5-foot-11, 175-pound, five-star running back from Metairie, Louisiana, where he plays for St. Martin’s Episcopal.

Class of 2025 UNC football commit named MVP at weekend football camp

Bryce Baker is yet another exciting quarterback prospect who’ll play football for the North Carolina Tar Heels. He arrives before the 2025 campaign.

We’re less than a week out from UNC’s annual Spring Football game, so you can imagine the anticipation is building.

Fans who can make the trip will get a firsthand look at the 2024 roster, with the quarterback battle between Conner Harrell and Max Johnson expected to be amongst the most followed. New transfers will get their first taste at game action in a North Carolina uniform, while we’re bound to see freshman and other first-timers make cases for starting spots.

As is always the case in sports, it’s never too early to look ahead in the future. In this case, we’re talking about the 2025 roster.

While either Harrell or Johnson will sling the football this year, there’s another exciting quarterback prospect coming to Chapel Hill in two seasons.

Bryce Baker, the in-state, 4-star quarterback from East Forsyth (Kernersville, NC) High School, was named Sunday’s Quarterback MVP at the Charlotte, NC Rivals Camp.

If you’re not familiar with Rivals Camp, it’s the top high school football camp series in the country.

Baker shined in his first season as a starting quarterback for the East Forsyth Eagles last year, throwing for 3,082 yards and 39 touchdowns with just three interceptions. He’s not too shabby of a runner either, collecting 233 rushing yards and three more scores.

As he prepares for his final high school season in the fall, Baker hopes to lead East Forsyth to its first 4A NCHSAA State Championship since 2019.
