Sooners building positive momentum with 2025 WR Gracen Harris

Oklahoma Sooners earn a Rivals FutureCast for 2025 WR Gracen Harris after time spent in Norman for “Future Freaks” weekend.

Oklahoma hosted a slew of prospects from the 2025 class this weekend. That class was the biggest in attendance. Oklahoma is set on building its 2024 class, and those commitments should start rolling in sooner rather than later after Jeremiah Newcombe broke the ice.

Wide receivers coach Emmett Jones has put in an incredible amount of work in a limited amount of time since being hired earlier this year.

He has a budding bond with 2025 receiver [autotag]Gracen Harris[/autotag]. Harris is a 5-foot-10 playmaker out of Ennis, Texas, and Josh McCuiston of SoonerScoop.com and Rivals locked in a FutureCast for the receiver to commit to the Oklahoma Sooners.

The projection is now the second one in Oklahoma’s favor for Harris after Parker Thune of OUInsider locked in a crystal ball favoring the Sooners in January.

As a sophomore, Harris earned a first-team selection in Texas District 5-5A at inside WR. His natural college position also profiles in the slot as well. Oklahoma has no receivers committed for the class of 2025, but Harris looks to potentially be the first to hop on the boat if the Sooners continue to apply the pressure in pursuit of him.

Baylor, Mississippi State, and Florida State are other notable schools pushing for Harris.

‘Future Freaks’ weekend set to be a massive recruiting event for Oklahoma’s present and future

Arguably the second biggest recruiting event of the calendar for Oklahoma will take place this week, with OU hosting its “Future Freaks” day.

Oklahoma has had some major recruiting in the month of March, but none seem as big as the one happening in Norman this weekend.

Officially dubbed “Future Freaks” weekend, Oklahoma plans to host exactly that. The Sooners will be welcoming more than 60 prospects over the next few recruiting classes in Norman.

Oklahoma’s been building momentum for recruiting since landing their top five composite class in 2023. While they have no commitments for 2024, the momentum is building.

Much like a volcano, it’s about to erupt. There’s a real chance the commitment party starts April 8 when Michael Hawkins, Oklahoma’s number one QB target in 2024, will make his commitment.

Oklahoma has plans to keep it pushing forward as they host many talented players this weekend. Here are the players they’ll be hosting over the next three recruiting classes in Norman this week.

New wide receivers coach Emmett Jones making immediate impact on recruiting trail

With Oklahoma predicted to land a receiver in each of the next two classes, new wide receivers coach Emmett Jones is off to a strong start.

It didn’t take long for new Oklahoma Sooners’ wide receivers coach [autotag]Emmett Jones[/autotag] to find his footing. Of course, in the world of college football, one has to hit the ground running.

Coming to Oklahoma with a strong reputation in the North Texas high school football scene, Jones has already made his mark on the recruiting trail. In the last couple of weeks, the Oklahoma Sooners have landed recruiting predictions for a pair of wide receivers. One in the 2024 class and the other in the 2025 recruiting cycle.

[autotag]Bryant Wesco[/autotag], who was previously recruited by Cale Gundy and L’Damian Washington, is a four-star prospect in the 2024 cycle and was predicted to land with the Sooners by SoonerScoop.com’s Josh McCuistion. Around that same time, the Sooners earned a favorable crystal ball prediction from OUInsider’s Parker Thune for 2025 wide receiver Gracen Harris.

Wesco’s recruitment has picked up at a tremendous rate since the end of the 2022 season. In January, he received offers from Texas, Colorado, Oregon, Penn State, Miami, Nebraska, Ole Miss and Texas A&M.

[autotag]Gracen Harris[/autotag] is a prospect on the rise. After standout seasons in his first two years of high school, he has received 10 Power Five offers to this point. As a sophomore, he caught 87 passes for 1,374 yards and 10 touchdowns for Ennis and was a first-team all-district selection.

It’s been a strong couple of weeks for the newest assistant coach of the Oklahoma Sooners. Jones still has to close on his wide receiver prospects and help Oklahoma earn those national letters of intent. However, with the way things have kicked off his tenure with the Sooners, Oklahoma’s going to add some fantastic prospects to their future receiver rooms.

Sooners earn recruiting projection in favor of landing 2025 WR Gracen Harris

Oklahoma is picking up momentum with 2025 wide receiver Gracen Harris, earning a crystal ball from OUInsider and 247Sports’ Parker Thune.

The Oklahoma Sooners hired Emmett Jones’ to be the final piece of Brent Venables’ coaching staff. L’Damian Washington filled in admirably after Cale Gundy’s departure, but Jones’ connections to Dallas-Fort Worth made him a fantastic addition as the Sooners’ wide receivers coach.

Venables knew he needed a coach with a little more experience and notable recruiting roots to build Oklahoma in the image he laid out in his introductory press conferences. He sought out Jones, who has multiple years of collegiate coaching experience and is a widely known figure in the DFW area. He had a fantastic run during his time coaching high school ball at South Oak Cliff.

His efforts have already started to impact receivers in Texas. Oklahoma has received a projection in favor of landing 2025 receiver Gracen Harris.

Harris hails from Ennis, Texas, and was a Texas District 5-5A-II first-team selection at inside WR as a sophomore. This comes on the heels of being named Texas District 8-5A-II Offensive Newcomer of the Year as a freshman. He totaled 87 catches for 1,374 yards and 10 receiving touchdowns this season. He’s explosive and dynamic, and while he worked primarily out of the slot, he lined up outside, showcasing his versatility.
