Nebraska target Cortez Mills makes trip to Lincoln for Colorado game

Cortez Mills has been a top Nebraska target for the 2025 class.

Class of 2025 wide receiver Cortez Mills traveled to Lincoln on Saturday. Rivals.com’s Tim Verghese confirmed this. The wide receiver is currently committed to the Oklahoma Sooners.

Mills is a four-star wideout. According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, he is the 13th overall wide receiver in the 2025 class and the 17th overall player from the state of Florida.

Mills committed to the Sooners on July 1. The Huskers have been heavily involved in Mills recruitment since last summer.

The explosive playmaker tallied 79 passes for 1,640 yards and 18 touchdowns last season for Homestead High School.

Nebraska football currently has several playmakers in the 2025 recruiting class. The top wideout commitment is Isaiah Mozee. Mozee and Mills were seen talking with each other, as well as wide receivers coach Garret McGuire, before Saturday’s contest against the Colorado Buffaloes.

Time will tell if Mills commits to the Huskers. Nevertheless, it is undoubtedly a good sign that they got him to campus.

4-star receiver Cortez Mills visiting Nebraska for Colorado game

Cortez Mills has been a highly-regarded receiver target for the Huskers.

2025 four-star wide receiver Cortez Mills will visit Nebraska for their September 7 contest against Colorado. This was first reported by On3.

Mills committed to the Oklahoma Sooners on July 1. The prospect has visited Nebraska several times over the last year. The wide receiver took an unofficial visit on January 20 and an official visit on April 26. He officially visited the LSU Tigers in June before committing to Oklahoma.

Mills is coming off a season for Homestead in which he recorded 79 catches for 1,640 yards and 18 touchdowns.

The 2025 Nebraska football recruiting class is ranked 31st overall nationally per the 247Sports Team Rankings. The Huskers already have a star wide receiver in Isaiah Mozee, who committed to the program back in August. Adding Mills to the fold would be another major get for a wide receiver room that is already loaded.

There is a lot of time between now and Early Signing Day. Nevertheless, getting Mills back on campus is a positive sign. His athleticism and big-time playmaking ability would fit perfectly with this offense.

LSU 4-star receiver target Cortez Mills commits to Oklahoma

LSU’s search for an elite receiver in the 2025 class continues.

LSU is looking to add to its receiver class after losing a commitment from five-star receiver [autotag]Dakorien Moore[/autotag] back in May, but that search will continue after one of its targets committed elsewhere on Monday.

[autotag]Cortez Mills[/autotag], a four-star receiver from Homestead, Florida, announced his commitment to Oklahoma on its first official day as a member of the SEC. Mills ranks as the No. 88 player nationally and No. 12 receiver according to the 247Sports composite, and his decision doesn’t exactly come as a surprise.

The Sooners received multiple predictions to land him in the leadup to his decision day. LSU was seen as a long shot here despite being a finalist.

Even with Mills off the board, LSU remains in the mix for some top players at the position, including five-star Jacksonville, Florida, receiver Jaime Ffrench and Moore, who the Tigers continue to try to bring back into the fold.

Sooners start SEC era off with a boom, land four-star WR Cortez Mills

Oklahoma Sooners earn a commitment from 2025 4-Star WR Cortez Mills, the Sooners 20th pledge in the 2025 recruiting class.

Today is a historic day for the University of Oklahoma. The Sooners are officially SEC members and have left the Big 12 after years of dominating the conference.

Monday is a day of jubilation in Norman, with a flurry of activities and events planned to commemorate the historic move to the nation’s premier conference. The addition of four-star wide receiver [autotag]Cortez Mills[/autotag] only adds to the excitement for the Sooners.

Mills, a terrific wideout out of Florida, chose the Sooners over offers from Clemson, Nebraska, LSU, and Florida. Oklahoma hosted Mills on an official visit in the spring, and he made it known then how much of a fan he was of what the Sooners were about.

[autotag]Emmett Jones[/autotag] built a strong relationship with the Mills, and the other 2025 wide receiver commits for OU also helped chip in. In short, Oklahoma stole Mills from Clemson’s hands, and the Sooners effectively stopped. Clemson entered the summer as the presumptive favorite, and Oklahoma made that ground up to overtake the lead.

After his official visit, the whispers around Oklahoma got louder, and ultimately, the Sooners and Jones earned his commitment.

With Mills on board, the Sooners bring in the No. 196-ranked player in the 247Sports rankings and the 88th-ranked overall prospect in 247’s Composite rankings. He’s a consensus four-star prospect on every primary recruiting service.

Mills wins with long speed and athleticism, allowing him to turn 50/50 balls into 70/30 balls. He will be an excellent addition to the Sooners and should thrive winning on the outside in this offense.

Brent Venables’ team now has 20 commits for the 2025 class, passing Texas A&M and the Oregon Ducks to possess the fifth-ranked recruiting class in the 247Sports team recruiting rankings.

Sooners defensive line target Smith Orogbo commits to Texas

Sooners 2025 four-star defensive end target commits to the Texas Longhorns.

The Oklahoma Sooners are still working to add defensive line depth for the 2025 recruiting class. Though they’ve earned commitments from interior defensive linemen [autotag]Trent Wilson[/autotag] and [autotag]Ka’Mori Moore[/autotag] and defensive ends [autotag]Alexander Shieldnight[/autotag] and [autotag]C.J. Nickson[/autotag], the defensive staff had been in pursuit of other players on the edge.

After missing on [autotag]Max Granville[/autotag], who chose Penn State, the Sooners turned their attention to [autotag]Smith Orogbo[/autotag]. At the time, it appeared Oklahoma might pull off a recruiting win over Texas Tech. However, it’s the Sooners’ Red River rivals who are adding the dynamic edge rusher.

On Monday, Orogbo committed to the Texas Longhorns. He’s a talented pass rusher with significant upside due to his fantastic athleticism.

The Sooners still have a dynamic defensive end duo in Shieldnight and Nickson to build the future of their defensive end group around, and they are well within the top 10 recruiting classes in the country as we enter July.

The Sooners turn their attention to securing commitments from [autotag]Cortez Mills[/autotag] and [autotag]Omarion Robinson[/autotag] along with priority offensive line targets [autotag]Michael Fasusi[/autotag], [autotag]Lamont Rogers[/autotag], [autotag]Andrew Babalola[/autotag], and [autotag]Ty Haywood[/autotag].

Pair of blue-chip LSU recruiting targets to announce commitments this week

LSU could add to its already strong 2025 class with a pair of four-star prospects this week.

LSU’s 2025 recruiting class is already one of the best in the nation, and it could be set to get even better this week.

A pair of LSU targets are scheduled to make their decisions in four-star Indianapolis EDGE [autotag]Damien Shanklin[/autotag] and four-star Lufkin, Texas, defensive lineman [autotag]Zion Williams[/autotag]. The latter will commit on July 4 this Thursday, while the former, who ranks inside the top 100 nationally, will make his decision the following day.

LSU has received multiple predictions to land both players and currently seems to have a significant lead in their recruitment.

Shanklin and Williams aren’t the only Tigers targets deciding in the near future. Four-star receiver [autotag]Cortez Mills[/autotag], considered an Oklahoma lean, is committing on Monday, while in-state safety [autotag]Jhase Thomas[/autotag] will announce a decision on July 13.

It seems like a two-team race for Thomas between LSU and Ole Miss, though the Tigers look like the clear favorite.

Four-star wide receiver to announce commitment on July 1

Cortez Mills will make his official announcement on July 1st.  

A four-star wide receiver has announced his commitment date. Cortez Mills will make his official announcement on July 1st.

Mills is a 6-foot-1, 170-pound wide receiver from Homestead High School out of Homestead, Florida. Last season, he made 53 catches in 11 games for 1,136 yards and two touchdowns.

He told the On3 network that he’s ready to make his announcement on Monday.

“I will announce my commitment on July 1. It is down to those five schools I took official visits to, and I will commit to one soon.”

The prospect has already visited Nebraska officially and made trips to Clemson, Florida, LSU, and Oklahoma. Miami had been viewed as a favorite for some time, but with the Hurricanes failing to make the final five, it’s anyone’s guess as to where Mills will commit.

2025 4-star receiver with LSU in final 5 sets commitment date

One of the top 100 players in the 2025 recruiting class has announced his commitment date.

One of the top 100 players in the [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag] has announced his commitment date, which is coming soon.

[autotag]Cortez Mills[/autotag] is a 6-foot-1, 170-pound, four-star wide receiver from Homestead, Florida, where he plays for Homestead High School. Mills has narrowed his list of schools down to five: LSU, Florida, Clemson, Oklahoma and Nebraska.

Clemson has received multiple crystal ball projections to land him but Oklahoma is an 86% favorite to land him per On3. So, most analysts are torn on where Mills could end up. This is anyone’s race at this point. [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] can swoop in and bring him to Baton Rouge.

LSU’s 2025 recruiting class currently has 12 total commitments headlined by the No. 1 quarterback, five-star [autotag]Bryce Underwood[/autotag] from Michigan. There is only one wide receiver committed at this moment and that is [autotag]TaRon Francis[/autotag], a four-star wide receiver from New Orleans. The class is currently ranked as the No. 10 class in the country by 247Sports.

Four-star WR Cortez Mills sets commitment date

Four-star WR Cortez Mills set to decide his college destination on July 1.

July 1 could be an incredible day of celebration for the Oklahoma Sooners. The day marks the school’s first official day as members of the SEC. A number of festivities will take place in Norman and Tulsa to commemorate the day.

While Brent Venables and his staff will be excited and celebrating the move into the new conference, they’ll also focus on an announcement from four-star wide receiver Cortez Mills.

Mills plans to announce his college decision on July 1, choosing among  Oklahoma, Clemson, LSU, Florida and Nebraska.

Mills, a native of Florida, stands 6-foot-1, but he plays much bigger than that. He will go up and win the 50/50 balls and has excellent vertical speed to beat defenders deep. He was the top receiver as a junior for a Homestead program that played for a Florida 3M title. Mills caught 79 passes for 1,640 yards and 18 TDs that season.

Ranked the No. 11 wideout on the 247Sports composite, Mills was considered a very strong Clemson lean at one point. Though many projections remain in their favor, things have taken a significant turn.

Oklahoma hosted Mills for an official visit on June 14. Things went well for the Sooners, and it’s simply becoming foolish to count out [autotag]Emmett Jones[/autotag] when recruiting wide receivers. The Sooners have put themselves in a significant position to win the recruiting battle against the Tigers.

Mills would likely be the last wide receiver for this year’s class, wrapping up Oklahoma’s efforts for 2025 and allowing them to move on and focus on 2026.

Oklahoma Sooners favored to land 2025 4-star WR Cortez Mills

The Oklahoma Sooners appear to have made a strong impression on four-star wide receiver Cortez Mills.

The Oklahoma Sooners have built quite the wide receiver depth chart under position coach [autotag]Emmitt Jones[/autotag] in his year and a half in Norman.

In the [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag], the Sooners have already added [autotag]Gracen Harris[/autotag], [autotag]Elijah Thomas[/autotag] and most recently [autotag]Marcus Harris[/autotag]. Now, the Sooners may be closing in on another target, four-star wide receiver Cortez Mills.

Mills was recently in Norman for an official visit with the Sooners, and while he was at one point projected to land with Clemson, it looks like Oklahoma has taken a lead in his recruitment.

Parker Thune and Brandon Drumm of OU Insider and Rivals issued futurecasts favoring Oklahoma for the four-star prospect out of South Florida.

Mills is a natural at wide receiver. He displays a great understanding of how to attack zone coverage, finding soft spots and slowing his route to give his quarterback an option against zone. He displays enough speed to get behind the defense. Mills has soft hands and shows the ability to play above the defender to make contested catches. He has good contact balance, creating yards after the catch to create big plays in the passing game.

Mills was expected to take an official visit to Miami, but after meeting with the Sooners, he took to social media to announce he’d no longer be taking the trip to South Beach.

He’s a top 200 prospect across the board and considered the No. 69 player in the 2025 recruiting class by Rivals. On3 and ESPN have him inside the top 110 in the nation.

Mills holds 27 Power Four offers, including nine from SEC schools. This will be a recruitment to watch as Jones and the Sooners made a strong impression during his official visit.
