Oklahoma wide receiver commit flips to Nebraska during Early Signing Period

Oklahoma Sooners four-star wide receiver target flips to Nebraska on the first day of the early signing period.

The Oklahoma Sooners had a fairly clean morning during the [autotag]early signing period[/autotag]. The only defection from the [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag] was four-star wide receiver [autotag]Cortez Mills[/autotag].

Mills flipped from Oklahoma to Nebraska during a signing ceremony on Wednesday morning. It’s not completely unexpected, as On3’s Steve Wiltfong and Chad Simmons projected Mills to flip to the Cornhuskers over the weekend. But a final push from the Sooners appeared to put them back in a favorable position with the early signing period approaching.

During his ceremony, it appeared Mills chose Oklahoma but pulled off his OU shirt to reveal the Nebraska logo.

It’s another loss at wide receiver for the Sooners over the last week after Marcus Harris and Gracen Harris also decommitted from the class. However, with a number of veteran wide receivers set to return for 2025 and the additions of Elijah Thomas and Emmanuel Choice, the Sooners are still in a good position at wide receiver moving forward.

Oklahoma 4-star wide receiver commit projected to flip to Nebraska

Oklahoma four-star wide receiver commit projected to flip to Nebraska Cornhuskers.

The Oklahoma Sooners sit at No. 12 in team recruiting rankings in the [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag], according to 247Sports.

It’s a group that’s taken a few hits over the last few months. Defensive tackles [autotag]Ka’Mori Moore[/autotag] and [autotag]Floyd Bouccard[/autotag] and quarterback [autotag]Kevin Sperry[/autotag] have pulled back their pledges to the Sooners and found new destinations.

As the Sooners prepare to take on the LSU Tigers in Baton Rouge, another commit might be heading elsewhere soon.

On3 recruiting experts Steve Wiltfong and Chad Simmons issued predictions expecting four-star wide receiver prospect [autotag]Cortez Mills[/autotag] to flip from the Sooners to their former Big 8 and Big 12 rival, the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Nebraska has one of the more promising young quarterbacks in college football in Dylan Railoa. With the addition of Dana Holgorsen as offensive coordinator, the Cornhuskers could have a more explosive offense coming to Lincoln.

Mills has been committed since July 1. He’s considered the No. 205 player in the 2025 recruiting cycle and the No. 21 wide receiver in the class.

While losing Mills certainly hurts, the Sooners still have a strong group of wide receivers expected to join the team in 2024. It’s a group that includes Elijah Thomas, Marcus Harris, Gracen Harris, and Emmanuel Choice.

With the early signing period just days away, expect a final decision from Mills shortly.

Oklahoma commit wears Husker gear in workout video

Cortez Mills was representing Nebraska in a new video.

Class of 2025 four-star wide receiver Cortez Mills was rocking Nebraska football gear in a workout video posted earlier this week.

Mills has been a Nebraska target for quite a while. They first offered the wide receiver on December 16, 2022. He committed to the Oklahoma Sooners on July 1, but Nebraska has been steadily involved in his recruitment over the last year. He took two unofficial visits on January 20 and September 7. He took an official visit for the Red-White game on April 26.

According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Mills is the 15th-best wide receiver in the 2025 class and the 18th-best player from the state of Florida.

The Huskers are trying to build a juggernaut at wide receiver in the 2025 class. They already have Isaiah Mozee and a ton of talent on the roster. The class itself ranks 21st overall nationally, per the 247Sports Team Rankings.

This would be a solid addition for Nebraska football. This coaching staff has shown a strong ability to recruit, and Mills would certainly be a notch in the proverbial belt for the staff.

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.
