CJ Lavender of Santa Ana, Calif. announced on Friday that he’s received a scholarship offer from the Spartans. He is a cornerback prospect in the 2026 class and plays for prestigious Mater Dei High.

Lavender is years away from setting foot on a college field but that doesn’t mean some of the game’s biggest programs haven’t already expressed interest in his talents.

Sooners building foundation for future with flurry of offers for 2025 and 2026

Oklahoma gets a jump on its recruiting future, extending offers to a number of 2025 and 2026 prospects.

While the 2024 class is next up for the calendar year, recruiting future classes starts with years of relationships. Those relationships take time to build and don’t always develop overnight. It’s imperative to lay the foundation early on, which is why it should come as no surprise that the Sooners sent a  flurry of offers to 2025 and 2026 prospects in recent weeks.

Recruiting services have hardly evaluated them enough to rank them all just yet. These players have already received Power Five offers and look to be premier players who will eventually be significant prospects come their senior year.

We’ve taken the liberty to take a brief look at these 2025 and 2026 offers and offer a bit of insight about each.
