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.

5-star OT Michael Fasusi headlines official visitors list for Norman this weekend

Oklahoma is set to host a number of uncommitted prospects headlined by five-star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi in Norman this weekend.

Official visit season is in full swing, and Norman will see a number of visitors throughout June. Last week, the Sooners hosted several prospects and this weekend is no different.

Right now, the Sooners are ranked No. 7 overall in recruiting for the class of 2025 and trail the USC Trojans. Things are far from over, and there is a real chance that Oklahoma could find itself in the top five when all is said and done for the 2025 cycle.

Last week, names like [autotag]Kade Pietrzak[/autotag], [autotag]Daris Afalava[/autotag], and [autotag]Da’Saahn Brahme[/autotag] visited Norman, hoping to learn how they would fit into life as Oklahoma Sooner student-athletes.

Things went well for Pietrzak. Multiple predictions came in earlier this week favoring the Sooners. Afalava included the Sooners in his top four that he released on Wednesday. So, the visits have paid dividends.

There’s a lot more to be excited about this weekend. Below, we’ve rounded up all the names expected to be in Norman for official visits.

  • [autotag]Michael Fasusi[/autotag], five-star OT
  • [autotag]Cortez Mills[/autotag], four-star WR
  • [autotag]Mark Iheanachor[/autotag], four-star LB
  • [autotag]Elijah Melendez[/autotag], three-star LB (committed to the Miami Hurricanes)
  • [autotag]Trent Wilson[/autotag], three-star DT commit
  • [autotag]Marcus Harris[/autotag], four-star WR
  • [autotag]Makhi Williams-Lee[/autotag], three-star DT
  • [autotag]Floyd Boucard[/autotag], three-star DT

We also wanted to share a few important notes about the visitors. Let’s start with Michael Fasusi, the highest-rated player set to touch down in Norman this weekend. Fasusi’s recruitment has always been between the big schools in Texas and Oklahoma. Things seem to be trending the Longhorns direction, so in many ways, this weekend feels like Oklahoma’s final push to sway things in their direction in a big way. Oklahoma has a few five-star offensive tackles they are in on, and landing one would be a significant boost to this class and a big personal win for offensive line coach [autotag]Bill Bedenbaugh[/autotag].

Iheanachor and Melendez are pivotal recruits because Oklahoma does not have a single linebacker committed for the class of 2025. Both are inside linebackers and will play that position in college. Oklahoma would love to land a commitment from either of them to give them a little depth inside heading into next year. Both are intense, physically fearless players who use instincts to dole out punishment.

Marcus Harris was a late add, but he hails from California, where he plays ball at the famous Mater Dei High School. The West Coast recruitment effect is real with him, but Emmett Jones got Harris to cancel his visit to Oregon and come to Norman instead. That may be a situation to monitor.

Boucard and Williams-Lee will accompany Trent Wilson, the lone Oklahoma commit of the weekend. Wilson will work to convince the other defensive tackles to join him in Norman.

Oklahoma has a weekend ahead of itself. They’ll be rolling out the red carpet. Only time will tell how effective these visits were.

Blue-chip South Florida WR sets official visit date with Gators

The Gators are looking to snatch this highly-prized pass-catcher from the grip of the ‘Canes.

Top 2025 receiver sets multiple visit dates with Florida football

The Florida Gators are expecting another 4-star wide receiver to visit campus this Spring.

Despite initial plans falling through, the Florida football program and a coveted four-star from Homestead, the Gators have coordinated to find a new date for an official visit.

Wide receiver [autotag]Cortez Mills[/autotag] has already been offered a scholarship after his successful Gainesville trip last Fall when the Gators pulled off its upset over the Tennessee Volunteers.

Mills will visit Gainesville on March 23, as well as a trip for the weekend of June 7.

Since then, Mills has reportedly been in constant contact with the UF coaching staff, according to Swamp247.

“Since they offered me, they have been communicating with me every day,” Mills said.

“That plays a big part in them. When they didn’t offer me earlier, we really didn’t have much contact. Now that they have, they are really recruiting me hard, and letting me know I am a top priority to them. I feel like I can vibe with them on and off the field, and they seem like great people.”

Mills is ranked as the No. 202 overall prospect according to the 247Sports scale and is rated No. 18 among other wide receivers in the 2025 recruiting cycle. The Miami Hurricanes have also been on the recruiting trail for Mills.
