4-Star, In-state tight end prospect signs with the Oklahoma Sooners

Four-star prospect Trynae Washington out of Midwest City, Oklahoma signs with the Oklahoma Sooners.

The Oklahoma Sooners have their tight end in the [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag] after [autotag]Trynae Washington[/autotag] signed with the Sooners on the first day of the [autotag]early signing period[/autotag].

Washington is 6-foot-3 and weighs 205 pounds. He has the athleticism to be a difference-maker at the position in the passing game. He’ll need to add some more size to be able to block for the Sooners, but he can push for playing time as a slot tight end early in his Oklahoma career.

He joins former Carl Albert teammates [autotag]Marcus James[/autotag], [autotag]Trystan Haynes[/autotag], and [autotag]Xavier Robinson[/autotag], furthering the Sooners pipeline into the powerhouse program from Midwest City.

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].

2025 4-star TE DaSaahn Brame sets commitment date

Oklahoma target DaSaahn Brame sets commitment date.

[autotag]Joe Jon Finley[/autotag] has had an interesting first half of 2024. He went from solely being the tight ends coach at Oklahoma to being named to co-offensive coordinator this winter. He will be heavily invested in game planning and play design as the Sooners prepare for 2024, with [autotag]Seth Littrell[/autotag] as the play-caller.

He is still in charge of recruiting for his position, and right now, the Sooners don’t currently have a true official tight end committed on campus. There’s a lot of belief that [autotag]Trynae Washington[/autotag] is set to be a tight end in college, and if so, that adds depth to the room for next year.

Oklahoma is currently in the final four for four-star tight end prospect [autotag]DaSaahn Brame[/autotag]. Brame is closing in on bringing his recruitment to an end on June 29. He is set to announce between Oklahoma, Tennessee, Oregon, and Ole Miss.

Oklahoma has been in on Brame for about two years, but with commitment day closing in, the Sooners may be on the outside looking in. Oregon has been one constant in his recruitment for quite some time, and the predictions and projections favor the Ducks.

Brame is a massive prospect, standing at 6-foot-6, and he is a natural catcher with plenty of noticeable athleticism. When watching his film, it’s easy to see why he’s a four-star prospect coveted by many Power 4 schools.

Oklahoma target Trystan Haynes sets commitment date of May 7

One of Oklahoma’s best in-state prospects, Trystan Haynes has announced a decision date.

[autotag]Trystan Haynes[/autotag] is one of the best cornerback prospects in the [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag], and on May 7, he will decide where to take his talents for his college football career.

Haynes is a certified Oklahoma kid who plays his high school ball at powerhouse, Carl Albert, alongside several other Division I players, such as Sooner commits [autotag]Marcus James[/autotag] and [autotag]Trynae Washington[/autotag].

With his decision less than five days away, the Sooners look to be in the driver’s seat to earn the commitment from the long, athletic, four-star cornerback. Oklahoma’s most significant threats in this recruitment are Notre Dame, Miami and Texas A&M.

Oklahoma offered Haynes in January 2023 and has been in the mix ever since. Multiple unofficial visits and trips to see Haynes and his teammates play have helped cultivate and build a close relationship.

Jay Valai and the Sooners’ defensive staff have the edge in recruiting predictions. Tides changed from Notre Dame earlier this week back to the Crimson and Cream.

If Oklahoma lands Haynes, it will likely complete the Sooners’ pursuit of cornerbacks for the 2025 class and they’ll move on to 2026.

Adding Haynes to the mix would give Oklahoma a commitment from a consensus four-star prospect and the state’s number four player, ranked No. 151, per 247Sports.

Four-star in-state CB Trystan Haynes predicted to land with Oklahoma

Trystan Haynes favored to land with the Oklahoma Sooners by Rivals recruiting insider.

Recruiting, like the weather outside, is starting to warm up. The [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag] is in the thick of it. Oklahoma has done heavy lifting for the 2025 class, with 14 commitments

This development is a stark contrast from the previous few years. In previous springs under Brent Venables, the Sooners had just been getting started. With eight months to go until the December early signing period, the Sooners already have a significant portion of their recruiting class put together.

The Sooners aren’t done. A new development in recruiting an in-state star highlights that.

Four-star Trystan Haynes, a talented cornerback who plays his high school ball at Oklahoma powerhouse Carl Albert, was favored to land with the Sooners. OU received a Futurecast from Notre Dame insider Tyler James.

Haynes, most notably, is a teammate of multiple Oklahoma commits in the 2025 class, like Trynae Washington and Marcus James. He also has an immense future at cornerback if he is to realize his potential. He has exceptional size and length for the cornerback position.

Jay Valai and the OU staff did enough to be considered a leader earlier this year, but the momentum from the Notre Dame staff pushed Oklahoma. Things appear to have stabilized on that front, and the Sooners look like they’ve regained that momentum.

With the home state team starting to surge back out in front, Oklahoma is nearing the end of its cornerback recruiting for this cycle. It’s likely Cobey Sellers or Trysten Haynes, but not both, land with the Sooners.

Haynes is a consensus four-star player across the recruiting world and is considering Miami and Texas A&M in addition to the Sooners.

Sooners an early SEC winner in the 2025 recruiting class

The Oklahoma Sooners are one of the early winners in the 2025 recruiting cycle.

Brent Venables and his coaching staff can recruit. They’ve put together top 10 classes in each of their first national signing days in Norman. That includes the 2022 class, when they only had a couple of months to recover the class after Lincoln Riley left.

And they’re already off to a fantastic start to the [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag]. According to College Sports Wire, the Oklahoma Sooners are one of the early winners out of the SEC in the 2025 cycle.

New to the SEC, Oklahoma currently holds nine commitments in their 2025 recruiting class to rank No. 6 in the nation, as well as second in the conference. Headlining that group is a trio of Top 200 prospects [autotag]Elijah Thomas[/autotag], [autotag]Ryan Fodje[/autotag], and [autotag]Kevin Sperry[/autotag], the first of which is one of the top players in the state of Oklahoma. – Mett Melton, College Sports Wire

Sperry made noise when he jumped the 2024 recruiting class with his March 2023 commitment. He’s been locked in since and helping Oklahoma recruit. The four-star prospect is a talented passer who could ascend to five-star status by the end of the cycle.

Wide receiver is a strength of this recruiting cycle. Emmett Jones has commitments from talented four-star prospects Elijah Thomas and  [autotag]Trynae Washington[/autotag], and three-star receiver [autotag]Gracen Harris[/autotag]. It’s a dynamic group with big-time playmaking ability. As Jones has shown us in his time with the Sooners, he’ll continue to recruit to add talent to the wide receiver group.

The Sooners 2025 recruiting class got a big boost from the addition of Ryan Fodje. They were ahead of the curve on Fodje, who’s gone from being largely unknown in recruiting circles to a top-100 prospect in the cycle. Fodje joins [autotag]Owen Hollenbeck[/autotag], who a lot of people believe will be a standout interior offensive lineman.

And they’re still in the mix for several five-star offensive tackles. Oklahoma’s been projected to land [autotag]Ty Haywood[/autotag], and many feel they’re in a good position for [autotag]Michael Fasusi[/autotag]. They also have moved the needle for [autotag]Antoni Omugoro[/autotag], an athletic offensive line prospect from Elk City.

Offensive line could end up having the star power that the defensive line had for the 2024 class.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Sooners are on track to land their fourth five-star prospect since Venables’ arrival if the projections for five-star safety [autotag]Jonah Williams[/autotag] hold up.

With less than a year to go in the 2025 recruiting cycle, the Sooners have positioned themselves to have another strong group of prospects joining the program next year.

Sooners makes top 6 for four-star CB Trystan Haynes

Oklahoma makes top six for consensus four-star in-state cornerback prospect Trystan Haynes.

Oklahoma is in the home stretch for one of its top defensive back targets in the [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag]. Four-star cornerback [autotag]Trystan Haynes[/autotag] announced his top six schools in an edit posted to social media on Tuesday afternoon.

Haynes is an in-state product who plays his high school ball at one of the best programs in Oklahoma. He plays at Carl Albert along with other Sooner commits like [autotag]Marcus James[/autotag], [autotag]Trynae Washington[/autotag], and [autotag]Kevin Sperry[/autotag]. He is the number one cornerback in the state, and it’s easy to see why. At 6-foot-2, he has adequate size and the frame to add more weight as he ages and physically matures.

His length is a weapon, and he has the explosiveness to keep up with anyone. He is also a consensus top 150 prospect.

His top six features some of the best programs in the country. Along with Oklahoma, Haynes has whittled down his recruitment to Miami, Notre Dame, Alabama, Texas A&M, and the Georgia Bulldogs.

Oklahoma already has a crystal ball prediction in its favor, but make no mistake, things are far from settled. The Sooners have advantages, with high school teammates already committed or playing for the in-state school. However, Oklahoma must see this recruitment through to the end. Haynes has made multiple visits to Texas A&M, so it would be hard to count them out.

Recruits react on Social Media to Junior Day weekend with Oklahoma Sooners

2025 prospects react on social media to their junior day weekend with the Oklahoma Sooners.

The Sooners are off and running in the [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag] with nine commitments as they turn the page on 2024.

Over the weekend, a number of Oklahoma’s 2025 targets made the trip to Norman for their annual junior day. It was an opportunity for the next class of prospects to meet with coaches, tour the facilities, and get a deeper look at Oklahoma football.

It has yielded positive reactions. The Sooners received a trio of Rivals Futurecasts for four-star running back Tory Blaylock and five-star wide receiver Caleb Cunningham included the Sooners in his top 12 after their visits.

But they weren’t the only ones who enjoyed their visits, here’s how other prospects reacted to their time with the Oklahoma Sooners over the weekend.

Oklahoma Sooners land another in-state product in a surprise commitment

Oklahoma got some good news in a surprise commitment from in-state 2025 product.

The [autotag]Oklahoma Sooners 2025 recruiting[/autotag] is absolutely on fire right now. The Sooners didn’t land just one but two players on Thursday night.

Marcus James from Carl Albert in Oklahoma City, Okla. was the one everyone knew was coming as he scheduled his announcement for 6:30 p.m. CT that day. But shortly after, his teammate, 2025 3-star athlete [autotag]Trynae Washington[/autotag], also committed to the Sooners.

Washington is a 6-foot-3, 195-pound do-it-all player for Carl Albert. He plays both wide receiver and safety. Washington told OUInsider (subscription required) in an exclusive interview the plan was for him to play tight end and wide receiver at Oklahoma.

Washington is the fourth Carl Albert player to commit to Oklahoma this calendar year, joining [autotag]Marcus James[/autotag], three-star 2024 running back [autotag]Xavier Robinson[/autotag] and four-star 2025 quarterback [autotag]Kevin Sperry[/autotag]. But they aren’t done, as Washington admits he has his eyes set on teammate, 2025 defensive back [autotag]Trystan Haynes[/autotag] to join the crew.

As for what sold Washington on Oklahoma, he told OUInsider, “They are a big family, and make sure that you feel welcome there. The atmosphere there is great as well, the coaches getting involved just as much as the players. They were reaching out to me and trying to get me more involved, more than other colleges were.”

The Sooners didn’t land their first 2024 commit until March of this year when Jeremiah Newcombe broke the ice. As of right now the Sooners already have seven 2025 commits, with some more potentially on their way soon.

2025 OU QB commit Kevin Sperry transfers to Oklahoma high school powerhouse Carl Albert

Oklahoma 2025 QB commit Kevin Sperry transferring to Oklahoma high school powerhouse Carl Albert for remainder of high school career.

While he won’t be signing and moving on campus at Oklahoma until the winter of 2024, Kevin Sperry will be playing his next two years of high school football in the Sooner State.

In a massive high school news update that has ripples across the Texas and Oklahoma high school football scenes, 2025 Oklahoma QB commit Kevin Sperry is transferring to Carl Albert (OK) High School, according to a report from SoonerScoop’s Josh McCuistion.

Sperry leaves Rock Hill High School in Prosper, Texas, behind and joins the defending 5A state champions from Oklahoma. It’s a massive move for all parties involved.

Sperry spent the last two weeks in Oklahoma camping with the Sooners, where he spent time passing to future teammates like Gracen Harris, another 2025 commit for Oklahoma. Kevin Sperry Sr. shared that his son wasn’t ready to leave Oklahoma after spending the last two weeks camping in Norman.

In the piece, Sperry Sr. revealed the family had already been contemplating a move to Oklahoma following the younger Sperry’s junior season. Still, instead of waiting the extra year, they decided the time was now.

Sperry joins a loaded Carl Albert squad. Five other athletes hold offers from the Oklahoma Sooners.

2024 running back offer Xavier Robinson is trending to land with Oklahoma after his official visit this weekend for the ChampU BBQ. He wrapped his junior season with 2,594 yards and 39 TDs on 9.4 yards per carry. He averaged 185.3 rushing yards per game.

2025 CB Trystan Haynes is a consensus four-star CB. 2025 ATH Trynae Washington holds offers from Oklahoma, Iowa State, and Kansas. It’s expected his recruitment will explode soon. 2025 offer Marcus James will also be in the fold as well. He holds Sooners, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, and Tulsa offers.

Carl Albert, the 2022 Class 5A  state champion was already a remarkably talented squad. With Sperry at the helm for the next two years, it gives Carl Albert one of the more talented passers in the 2025 recruiting class to lead the offense. In his sophomore season, Sperry threw over 1,500 yards and nine touchdowns.

With Sperry in the building, Oklahoma’s chances of landing Robinson go up, improving their chances to recruit the other Oklahoma offers in the program.

Sperry will also be much closer to Norman, so frequent visits to his future home are certainly on the table.
