March has the potential to be a big month for the Oklahoma Sooners with two recruiting weekends. The first, this past weekend, drew players across several recruiting classes, and the Sooners are already seeing positive returns.
Oklahoma received a crystal ball projection from Brandon Drumm of OUInsider at 247Sports for 2023 four-star athlete Jacobe Johnson and they gained a favorable projection for another 2023 athlete. This time it’s three-star prospect Samuel Omosigho out of Crandall, Texas, who looks to be landing with the Oklahoma Sooners.
On3 Sports national recruiting analyst Sam Spiegelman predicted Monday that Oklahoma will be the next stop for Samuel Omosigho. “Omosigho, a defensive target, meshed with new Sooners head coach Brent Venables over the weekend. I’ve entered a new RPM pick for Oklahoma there, too,” Spiegelman wrote.
Omosigho is a talented two-way player who lined up as the weak side linebacker in Crandall’s three-four defense and played wide receiver on offense.
On defense, he showed good burst off the edge, rushing the passer or working down the line to attack the ball carrier. Displays good effort in backside pursuit and is a natural athlete. Shows a good understanding of zone coverage and gets good depth on his drops. Good wrap-up tackler. After making the tackle, Omosigho offered to help up the ball carrier on several occasions.
He has fantastic ball skills attacking the ball in the air and is a natural hands catcher. Once Omosigho has the ball in his hands, he knows what to do with it, too, taking receptions, interceptions and fumbles for touchdowns from distance.
He doesn’t go down on first contact, breaking tackles and making opposing defenders miss. He has solid route running skills and lined up both in the slot and out wide during his junior season.

In 2021 Samuel Omosigho was the 8-5A-II co-offensive player of the year and a first-team selection at outside linebacker.
According to Spiegelman, the Sooners are recruiting Omosigho to play in Brent Venables’ defense. His versatility and athleticism would give him an opportunity to play several spots on the defensive side of the ball.
