Top prospects in the Sooner State and where they’re headed in 2023

Where are the top Oklahoma prospects in the 2023 class headed?

The state of Oklahoma has some top-notch talent in the class of 2023. The Oklahoma Sooners have a commitment from 2022 Oklahoma Player of the Year Erik McCarty and are trending in a positive direction for the No. 2 player in the state, [autotag]Jacobe Johnson[/autotag].

They made serious plays for others in the top five of 247Sports top prospects in the state, but for one reason or another, those players decided to try their hand with another Power Five program.

Bai Jobe, the No. 1 player in the state, committed to Michigan State after spending his middle and high school years living in Norman. Oklahoma’s No. 3 player, Luke Hasz, decommitted from the Oklahoma Sooners after Lincoln Riley left for USC and hooked up with Sam Pittman and Arkansas to play his college ball. Dylan Hasz, his brother and the No. 17 player in the state in the 247Sports composite rankings is also going to Arkansas.

Athlete Micah Tease, a Tulsa native, also opted to head east with Hasz to play for the Razorbacks. Cole Adams, one of the top wide receivers in the state, opted to play for the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Oklahoma State currently has the most commitments from in-state prospects with DL Jaedon Foreman and OL JaKobe Sanders pledge to play for Mike Gundy and the Cowboys. However, if and when the Sooners get a commitment from Jacobe Johnson, Oklahoma will have the edge with the higher rated in-state prospects.

The only two uncommited prospects in the top 18 in the state of Oklahoma, wide receiver Morgan Pearson and running back Rickey Hunt, don’t have offers from the Sooners. Pearson has an offer from Oklahoma State and both have offers from Iowa State.

Though we’re still months away from the early signing period or national signing day, here’s a look at where the top prospects in Oklahoma are headed, according to 247Sports.

The Summer has been kind to Arkansas Football

Arkansas Football has had one of the best summers on the recruiting trail, as they have reeled in 12 commits over June and July.

Although the month of July is still in its’ early stages, Arkansas Football has grabbed its’ share of commitments for the 2023 class.

On Independence Day alone, Arkansas received pledges from four-star receiver [autotag]Micah Tease[/autotag] and three-star offensive lineman [autotag]Paris Patterson[/autotag]. Joining those two, are the commitments of safety [autotag]TJ Metcalf[/autotag] and athlete [autotag]Dylan Hasz[/autotag], which brings their 2023 cycle total to 20 commits.

Because of their recent streak, Fansided’s Saturday Blitz has named Arkansas as one of the five college teams with recruiting momentum in July.

Saturday Blitz’s Chris Peterson says that [autotag]Sam Pittman[/autotag] and staff’s efforts are considered underrated for the hard work that they have done to build Arkansas’ future for success.

One college football team not getting enough love for its work on the recruiting trail this summer is Arkansas football, which has 12 commitments between June and July.

The Razorbacks have been busy in the month of July so far and have landed four pledges this month and none was bigger than four-star athlete Micah Tease, who committed on Monday. He’s ranked in the top 200 (No. 152 overall) and the 5-foot-11, 180-pounder is ranked 11th among athletes and should be a dynamic addition to the passing game.

The class already features four-star QB [autotag]Malachi Singleton[/autotag], but Arkansas football also landed some help on the defensive side of the ball Monday with the commitment of three-star DL Paris Patterson, who is ranked 492 overall, as well as three-star safety TJ Metcalf (504 overall).

The Razorbacks also added athlete Dylan Hasz on defense, giving Sam Pittman his 20th commitment this cycle and the Hogs a top-10 ranking so far in 2023.

As it stands, Arkansas currently owns the No. 6 recruiting class for the 2023 cycle according to 247sports. Among the 20 commits, six are four-star recruits.

Committed: Micah Tease chooses Arkansas

Arkansas Football capped an amazing day in recruiting by landing four-star athlete Micah Tease.

What an eventful, yet perfect Independence Day for Arkansas Football’s 2023 recruiting class.

The afternoon began with the commitment of [autotag]Paris Patterson[/autotag], a three-star interior lineman from East St. Louis, Ill., and ended with four-star athlete from Tulsa, Okla., [autotag]Micah Tease[/autotag], pledging to the Razorbacks.

Tease announced his commitment to Arkansas at his high school on Tuesday evening, choosing the Razorbacks over Texas A&M, Notre Dame, and USC.

Gabe Brooks of 247sports says that Tease has the tools to be a great addition to either the receiving corps, or in the defensive backfield.

(Tease) plays fast with impressive functional athleticism. Shows easy speed with smooth acceleration and a big-play top end. Run-by burst at receiver and make-up speed in coverage. Good ball skills regardless of alignment, but especially if projected to the secondary. Displays impressive concentration and ball-tracking skill with speed, hand-eye coordination, and dexterity to make vertical plays on either side of the ball.

Tease is the No. 4 rated recruit from the state of Oklahoma by 247sports composite rankings, and the No. 11 overall athlete for the 2023 cycle. The commitments of Patterson and Tease are the third and fourth commits for Arkansas since the calendar turned to July, joining three-star safety [autotag]TJ Metcalf [/autotag]and athlete [autotag]Dylan Hasz[/autotag], twin brother of four-star tight end commit [autotag]Luke Hasz[/autotag].

4-star Oklahoma WR Micah Tease locks in official visit for later this month

Michigan State has added another highly-touted 2023 prospect to their visitor’s list this month

Michigan State has added another highly-touted 2023 prospect to their visitor’s list this month.

Four-star wide receiver Micah Tease announced on Tuesday that he’ll be taking an official visit to Michigan State from June 24 -26. Tease is ranked as the No. 131 overall prospect and No. 9 athlete in 247Sports’ 2023 rankings.

Tease holds offers from more than 25 programs, including some of the game’s biggest schools such as Oklahoma, USC, Alabama, LSU and Notre Dame.

A few weeks ago, Tease released his top 10 schools list — which Michigan State was part of. He is currently projected to end up at Oklahoma, but this official visit to the Spartans’ campus could help change the tides in his recruitment. We will have to wait and see, but regardless this is yet another sign of the positive momentum on the recruiting trail for Michigan State.

Spartans in top 10 for 2023 Oklahoma 4-star WR Micah Tease

Michigan State is one of 10 schools still in the running for an elite wide receiver prospect in the 2023 class

Michigan State is one of 10 schools still in the running for an elite wide receiver prospect in the 2023 class.

Four-star wide receiver Micah Tease of Tulsa, Okla. released his top 10 schools list on Thursday and the Spartans made the list. Michigan State was joined by nine other big-time programs, which includes Arkansas, Michigan, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, LSU, Alabama, Texas A&M, Penn State and USC.

Tease is ranked as the No. 131 overall prospect and No. 11 athlete in 247Sports’ rankings for the 2023 class. He is also ranked as the No. 3 player from Oklahoma in the class.

Tease holds offers from nearly 30 schools, including the Spartans who offered him in late January. With so many big-time schools showing interest in Tease, it’s great to see Michigan State still in the mix for his talents. However, it will be an uphill battle for the Spartans to beat out those other elite programs, most notably the hometown Sooners who are currently projected to land Tease.

Arkansas makes top-10 list for Oklahoma product

Micah Tease, a 4-star athlete from Tulsa, is considering joining Arkansas’ already loaded 2023 signing class.

One of the nation’s most talented athletes is considering Arkansas.

On Thursday, [autotag]Micah Tease[/autotag], a four-star athlete for the 2023 class from Booker T. Washington High School in Tulsa, released his top-10 college choices with Arkansas making the cut.

Arkansas was not one of the first programs to offer Tease, but they are among the top schools to land him. The Razorbacks extended an offer to Tease on September 6, 2021, and Tease took an unofficial visit to Arkansas on September 11 for the Texas game at DWR Razorbacks Stadium.

Where will Tease end up? It is all dependent on which recruiting source you trust the most. If you look at 247sports, Tease has a Crystal Ball to Oklahoma, with the highest confidence coming from Oklahoma Insider Parker Thune.

But, as for On3, Tease has a 74.6% chance of committing to Arkansas.

Micah Tease is the no. 3 rated prospect from the state of Oklahoma, and the no. 11 overall athlete from the state of Oklahoma says 247sports. Arkansas currently holds the nation’s no. 5 ranked signing class for the 2023 cycle with 11 commits.

LSU makes top 10 for speedster from Oklahoma

The Tigers made the cut for one of the top two-way players in the country.

You can never have too much speed on your roster in the SEC. While LSU does have some guys who can do damage in that regard, it could definitely use some more in the mix.

To fit that bill, the Tigers are targeting four-star athlete [autotag]Micah Tease[/autotag], who listed them among his top 10 on Thursday. The Booker T. Washington (Tulsa, Oklahoma) product is ranked as the No. 183 prospect nation and No. 12 athlete.

Tease’s top 10 is a who’s who of blue-bloods, as it also includes Arkansas, Michigan, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Alabama, Michigan State, Texas A&M, Penn State and USC.

At 5-foot-11 and 180 pounds, Tease is a two-way player who sees action at cornerback and receiver. He could likely see action in either role at the next level, given his tremendous speed. He also runs track and has registered a blazing 11-second 100-meter.

He had positive things to say about the Tigers’ staff, according to On3’s Sam Spiegelman.

“I’ve always been tight with Coach (Brian) Kelly and when they came down from Notre Dame and brought it Coach (Robert) Steeples, that really brought them into this,” he said. “I enjoy the staff at LSU and the history with defensive backs and all that comes with it.”

LSU offered him on March 28 and will hope to get him on campus for a visit. He currently has visits planned for Notre Dame (June 10) and USC (June 16). The Sooners currently have the most crystal ball projections for Tease, and the Razorbacks lead the way according to the On3 RPM.

Tease is a phenomenal athlete who is sure to be a weapon at the next level, and the Tigers will look to add him to their 2023 class.

Oklahoma athlete sets Notre Dame official visit date

Yet another talented prospect is expected to visit South Bend

First-year head coach [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] has done a phenomenal job in his first full recruiting cycle. Just this month the Irish have added defensive end [autotag]Devan Houstan[/autotag] and offensive tackle [autotag]Sullivan Absher[/autotag] in the 2023 class and defensive end [autotag]Owen Wafle[/autotag] in the 2024 cycle.

Multiple big time commitments has led the 2023 class to be viewed as one of the best in the country to this point. Freeman is not taking his foot off the recruiting gas pedal as yet another big time player has their eyes on Notre Dame. Just today, Oklahoma athlete [autotag]Micah Tease[/autotag] announced that he will be visiting South Bend next month, from the 9th through the 12th of June.

At five-foot-eleven-inches, Tease is viewed as a running back first, but could end up as a slot receiver as well. [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] is stepping up the offensive recruiting and it shows. Although it seems like Oklahoma is Tease’s leader, the Irish getting an official visit could go a long way.

Oklahoma Sooners summer recruiting primer for the 2023 recruiting cycle

With the summer on the horizon, we took a look at the names to know as the Sooners look to make a push on the recruiting front for 2023.

Brent Venables and Co. are weeks removed from their first spring as a staff together. It was a successful one with no notable injuries and some standout performances across the board. All told, things went as well as they could’ve hoped considering the positive reviews from the media and recruits in attendance.

The spring game served as an eye-opener for recruits and gave the Oklahoma Sooners some significant momentum to ride as they head into the most crucial time of the year for recruiting. With spring ball done and the team going home to recharge before fall camp, the staff will be all in on recruiting. With that in mind, it’s time to map out the targets to watch as the 2023 class begins to materialize this summer.
