Oklahoma Sooners add highly-touted safety during early signing period

Oklahoma Sooners add four-star safety prospect out of Arkansas during the early signing period.

The Oklahoma Sooners added one of the fastest-rising safeties in the [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag] as four-star safety [autotag]Omarion Robinson[/autotag] signed with OU during the [autotag]early signing period[/autotag].

Robinson was defensive back MVP at a Rivals 5-star camp. The Little Rock native has seen his stock rise considerably over the last year, moving to No. 41 overall per Rivals, who has him ranked as the No. 3 safety in 2025.

Robinson is a dynamic player on the back end of a defense. He’s 6 feet and 171 pounds, and he has the footwork to play a number of roles in the secondary. He’s competitive and unafraid to be physical. He can also play in man-to-man coverage, a trait many safeties struggle with early on. – Bryant Crews, Sooners Wire

Robinson joins a group of safeties that is very talented. Led by [autotag]Robert Spears-Jennings[/autotag], the group includes blue-chip prospects from the last two recruiting classes in [autotag]Peyton Bowen[/autotag], [autotag]Reggie Powers[/autotag], [autotag]Jaydan Hardy[/autotag], and Michael Boganowski.

It may be difficult for Robinson to find a role on the defense in 2025, but like the freshman trio of Powers, Hardy, and Boganowski did this year, Robinson could earn a special teams role at a minimum.

2025 Oklahoma Sooners commitment tracker

Oklahoma Sooners 2025 commitment tracker

The Oklahoma Sooners are off to a much faster start in the [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag] than in 2024. In fact, [autotag]Kevin Sperry[/autotag] committed to the 2025 class (March 13, 2023) before OU had received its first commitment for the 2024 class: [autotag]Jeremiah Newcombe[/autotag] (March 25, 2023).

The Sooners have put together another phenomenal class but the centerpiece came when five-star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi committed to the Sooners on Wednesday. That gave Oklahoma their third straight recruiting class with at least one five-star prospect and their fifth in the last three years.

Additionally, it provided another elite piece for the Sooners to work with in the trenches after adding [autotag]Adepoju Adebawore[/autotag] in 2023 and [autotag]David Stone[/autotag] in 2024 on the defensive side of the ball. Now, Bill Bedenbaugh has his cornerstone of the future on the offensive side of the ball. The Sooners have been working overtime to strengthen their talent along the line of scrimmage.

Now with Fasusi committed, the Sooners turn their attention to [autotag]Andrew Babalola[/autotag], [autotag]Christian Jones[/autotag], and [autotag]Jonah Williams[/autotag], their final big-time targets in the 2025 cycle. Babalola is said to be down to Michigan, Stanford, and Oklahoma. Jones is leaning toward Nebraska but likely won’t commit until the fall. Williams was once a heavy Oklahoma lean, but his recruitment has broadened over the last six months to include LSU, Texas, Texas A&M, and Oregon. There could also be a surprise addition or flip over the next few months ahead of the early signing period.

Here are the players committed to the Oklahoma Sooners’ [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag].

Four-star safety Omarion Robinson commits to the Oklahoma Sooners

The Oklahoma Sooners picked up a commitment from four-star safety out of Arkansas, Omarion Robinson.

Brandon Hall has been a force on the recruiting trail since he took over the safeties position, and that ability to recruit showed itself again on Saturday.

Oklahoma landed its 21st commit of the [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag] when four-star safety [autotag]Omarion Robinson[/autotag] committed to Oklahoma over offers from Oregon, Arkansas and LSU.

Robinson is a dynamic player on the back end of a defense. He’s 6 feet and 171 pounds, and he has the footwork to play a number of roles in the secondary. He’s competitive and unafraid to be physical. He can also play in man-to-man coverage, a trait many safeties struggle with early on.

Robinson has been on the Sooners’ radar for a while. They offered him in January 2023.

Hall, Venables, and the rest of the defensive staff have prioritized Robinson since the beginning. They have successfully recruited the state of Arkansas this cycle, earning a commitment from [autotag]Marcus Wimberly[/autotag] this year.

In Robinson, Oklahoma landed yet another physical defensive back with the versatility to play in multiple spots. He dominated the Rivals Five-star camp, where he was named DB MVP. He was MaxPreps Freshman All-America second-team selection in the secondary in 2021.

Oklahoma is likely done recruiting defensive backs for the class and will focus more on the offensive and defensive lines to wrap up their 2025 recruiting class.

Oklahoma Sooners favored to land 2025 LB Christian Jones

OUInsider’s Parker Thune issued a Rivals FutureCast favoring the Sooners in the recruitment of 2025 four-star linebacker Christian Jones.

The Oklahoma Sooners [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag] is looking really good as the calendar turns to July. There are 20 prospects committed to the class, and the program could add a couple more this week with blue-chip prospects [autotag]Omarion Robinson[/autotag] and [autotag]Lamont Rogers[/autotag] nearing their commitment dates.

It’s a star-studded class on both sides of the ball, but if there’s an area where the Sooners need to make a splash, it’s at linebacker. They took their shot with [autotag]Elijah Melendez[/autotag] and looked on the verge of pulling off a flip of the Miami commit, but he chose to stay with his pledge to the Hurricanes. Then the Sooners missed on [autotag]Mark Iheanachor[/autotag], who chose the ACC-bound SMU Mustangs.

But their linebacker pursuits don’t stop there as they’re in the mix for 2025 four-star prospect [autotag]Christian Jones[/autotag]. Jones is considered the No. 58 player in the class and No. 7 linebacker by Rivals.

Though Nebraska is heavily in the mix for the Omaha native, Oklahoma may have picked up some momentum in their recruitment of Jones.

Parker Thune of OUInsider at Rivals issued a futurecast favoring the Sooners in Jones’ recruitment on Tuesday morning.

Jones spent time on an official visit with the Sooners on June 21, and, as they’ve done a number of times, they made significant strides with the blue-chip prospect while on campus.

The Sooners still have to contend with the hometown Cornhuskers and a number of other schools, but if they can pull off this recruiting win, it would be significant for [autotag]Brent Venables[/autotag] and his defensive staff.

Sooners defensive line target Smith Orogbo commits to Texas

Sooners 2025 four-star defensive end target commits to the Texas Longhorns.

The Oklahoma Sooners are still working to add defensive line depth for the 2025 recruiting class. Though they’ve earned commitments from interior defensive linemen [autotag]Trent Wilson[/autotag] and [autotag]Ka’Mori Moore[/autotag] and defensive ends [autotag]Alexander Shieldnight[/autotag] and [autotag]C.J. Nickson[/autotag], the defensive staff had been in pursuit of other players on the edge.

After missing on [autotag]Max Granville[/autotag], who chose Penn State, the Sooners turned their attention to [autotag]Smith Orogbo[/autotag]. At the time, it appeared Oklahoma might pull off a recruiting win over Texas Tech. However, it’s the Sooners’ Red River rivals who are adding the dynamic edge rusher.

On Monday, Orogbo committed to the Texas Longhorns. He’s a talented pass rusher with significant upside due to his fantastic athleticism.

The Sooners still have a dynamic defensive end duo in Shieldnight and Nickson to build the future of their defensive end group around, and they are well within the top 10 recruiting classes in the country as we enter July.

The Sooners turn their attention to securing commitments from [autotag]Cortez Mills[/autotag] and [autotag]Omarion Robinson[/autotag] along with priority offensive line targets [autotag]Michael Fasusi[/autotag], [autotag]Lamont Rogers[/autotag], [autotag]Andrew Babalola[/autotag], and [autotag]Ty Haywood[/autotag].

Sooners trending for elite safety Omarion Robinson with commitment day looming

Oklahoma trending for safety Omarion Robinson with decision coming next week.

The safety position has grown so much in just a few years since Brent Venables took the reins of the Oklahoma football program. They landed a five-star safety for the first time in a decade or more when they locked down [autotag]Peyton Bowen[/autotag].

Billy Bowman is already a bonafide star at the position, and if you asked anyone to rank the five best players on the Oklahoma roster, he would be named every time.

That brings us to the future of the position in Norman. Bowen’s future is still bright, but Billy Bowman is a senior and will depart Norman for the NFL following this season. Former four-star prospect [autotag]Robert Spears-Jennings[/autotag] will have a lot more responsibility this coming season. The 2024 recruiting class brought in a group of talented blue-chip safeties in [autotag]Michael Boganowski[/autotag], [autotag]Jaydan Hardy[/autotag], [autotag]Mykel Patterson-McDonald[/autotag], and [autotag]Reggie Powers[/autotag]. The [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag] currently has three-star safety out of Arkansas, [autotag]Marcus Wimberly[/autotag]. Could it bring another safety from the Natural State?

247Sports composite four-star safety Omarion Robinson is set to announce his decision on July 6, and Oklahoma is duking it out with Arkansas, LSU, and Oregon for his services.

Robinson is a hyper-competitive defender who can disrupt the passing game. He plays great coverage and has the athletic range to be a ballhawk in the middle of the field. His footwork is top-notch, and he’s unafraid of coming downhill to make run fits. He recently won defensive back MVP at the Rivals 5-star challenge.

 

Oklahoma has been steady in this race for some time, and after June’s official visits, the time for a commitment is nearing.

On Sunday afternoon, Chad Simmons of On3 predicted Robinson to land with the Sooners.

The prediction is an eye-opener, with the commitment just days away. Safeties coach [autotag]Brandon Hall[/autotag] is no stranger to closing out recruitments. It would be foolish to write off his ability to close on another bonafide blue-chip prospect.

With less than a week to his commitment, the Sooners are in a prime spot to continue adding to their already sixth-ranked 2025 recruiting class.

Four-star safety cancels official visit with Georgia football

The second-ranked recruit in Arkansas has cancelled his upcoming official visit with Georgia football.

Four-star safety recruit Omarion Robinson cancelled his official visit to the University of Georgia. Robinson was planning to visit Georgia May 31-June 2.

Robinson, who is a member of the class of 2025, plays high school football for Parkview High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Parkview has won back-to-back state championships and is one of the top high school programs in Arkansas.

The elite safety recruit recently named a top five of Georgia, Oregon, Oklahoma, Arkansas and LSU, but no longer appears to be considering the Bulldogs.

247Sports ranks Robinson as the second-best recruit in Arkansas in the class of 2025. Robinson is the No. 241 recruit in the country and the No. 22 safety.

The 6-foot, 170-pound defender also returns punts for Parkview. Robinson has recently visited LSU and Oklahoma and plans to announce his commitment on June 29.

Head coach Kirby Smart and Georgia football have nine commitments in the class of 2025. However, Georgia does not have a commitment from a defensive back in the 2025 cycle. The Dawgs have the No. 13 recruiting class in the country.

Four-star safety Omarion Robinson sets official visit with Georgia football

The second-ranked player in Arkansas is visiting the Georgia Bulldogs soon!

Four-star safety recruit Omarion Robinson plans to take an official visit to the Georgia Bulldogs football program from May 31-June 2. Robinson is a talented member of the class of 2025.

The elite safety prospect plays high school football for Parkview High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Parkview has won back-to-back state championships.

247Sports ranks Robinson as the second-best recruit in Arkansas in the class of 2025. Robinson is the No. 243 recruit in the country and the No. 22 safety. Georgia offers an attractive pitch for safety recruits. Two Georgia safeties (Tykee Smith and Javon Bullard) were 2024 NFL draft picks.

The 6-foot, 170-pound defender also returns punts for Parkview. Robinson has recently visited LSU and Oklahoma.

Robinson announced his intentions to visit Georgia via social media.

The elite Arkansas prospect recently named a top five of Georgia, Oregon, Oklahoma, Arkansas and LSU. Head coach Kirby Smart and Georgia football have eight commitments in the class of 2025. The Dawgs have the No. 14 recruiting class in the country at the moment.

Sooners land commitment from of 2025 four-star CB Courtland Guillory

Oklahoma continues their success on the recruiting trail landing a commitment from 2025 four-star cornerback Courtland Guillory.

Jay Valai has been a pretty productive recruiter during his time as the Sooners cornerbacks coach. He has recruited a number of four-star players to Norman, reshaping the cornerback depth chart in the process.

On Sunday, Valai nailed down another talented cornerback prospect. [autotag]Courtland Guillory[/autotag], a four-star cornerback from Klein Oak, Texas, announced his commitment to the Oklahoma Sooners.

The talented corner chose the Sooners over Texas, Texas A&M and UCF.

Guillory is rated No. 364 overall in the[autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag]. The four-star also ranks as the No. 31 cornerback in the nation and a top-60 player in Texas.

He excels using his long frame to disrupt plays and clog throwing windows. He is 6-feet tall and uses every inch to his advantage. He’s a physical player for the position, and he looks to put a significant hit on the ball carrier. Guillory does a great job tracking the football in the air and times his attack well.

247Sports scouting analyst Gabe Brooks believes he can improve his quick-twitch athleticism, which would help raise his ceiling as a player. He’s undoubtedly a high-major football player, and the Sooners will try to realize the rest of his potential,

Guillory has long been one of the top corners on Oklahoma’s board for 2025. Oklahoma offered in January and has been in the mix since. In recent weeks, a number of predictions favored the Sooners. Now he pledged to the Sooners, joining the No. 6 recruiting class in the nation.

He becomes the third defensive back to join the Sooners for 2025, along with[autotag]Marcus Wimberly[/autotag] and[autotag]Maliek Hawkins[/autotag]. Both committed earlier this spring. With Guillory in the fold, the Sooners turn their attention to defensive backs [autotag]Cobey Sellers[/autotag], [autotag]Jonah Williams[/autotag] and [autotag]Omarion Robinson[/autotag].

Oklahoma Sooners pick up prediction for 2025 4-Star safety

The Oklahoma Sooners got a prediction for a top 120 player in the 2025 class.

No matter what time of year it is, college football never stops. Teams have to constantly be recruiting and building those relationships.

That’s no different than at Oklahoma. The Sooners currently have a top-five class in the country in 2025. Now, it’s early so it’s hard to determine exactly where they will end up. [autotag]Brent Venables[/autotag] has said this will be his smallest class since becoming the head coach because he doesn’t expect as much turnover.

Still, some think this could be his best class and maybe the best in the history of the program. One thing that could help that out is adding top 120 recruits. That’s what they would get if their latest prediction for four-star safety [autotag]Omarion Robinson[/autotag] came true. The Sooners received a prediction from Oklahoma Recruiting Editor for On3 Josh McCuiston on Tuesday night.

Robinson is ranked as a top 15 safety in the country. He received his offer from Oklahoma back on Jan. 23, 2023. Since then, one of the better recruiters in the country, [autotag]Brandon Hall[/autotag], has been hard after him to get him in the Crimson and Cream.

Oklahoma currently has an 88.9% chance to land him according to On3’s recruiting prediction machine. But it won’t be easy as they’ll have to fight off several teams including his home state Arkansas Razorbacks. If they are able to do so, it’d be another huge win for Hall and the Sooners.
