Oklahoma has offered one the best defensive lineman in the class of 2026, Daverin “Deuce” Geralds. It’s a big projection because his signing day is still three years out, but by all accounts, Geralds’ hype is warranted. He was a MaxPreps and Under Armour All-American as a freshman in high school.
He’s 6 feet, 2inches and weighs 250 pounds. He has a great deal of room to grow with several more years of high school ahead of him.
Geralds is coming out of Collins Hill High School in Suwanee, Georgia. Oklahoma is getting in on the ground floor with someone who will be one of the top prospects in the 2026 recruiting cycle.
He already has at least 19 offers, including 10 from Power Five teams. The most notable are Auburn, Florida, Michigan, Ohio State, Ole Miss and Tennessee.

There’s a long, long way to go in his recruitment, but Oklahoma has done a good job recruiting the defensive line position with Todd Bates and Miguel Chavis. With three years to build a relationship with Geralds and his family, Oklahoma will be well-positioned to make noise in the recruitment.
