While the Oklahoma Sooners have two edge prospects that they are favoring in Bai Jobe and Adepoju Adebawore, the Sooners don’t seem to be willing to put all their eggs in those baskets too early. It’s a primary reason why they are still in the running for talented four-star EDGE Derion Gullette out of Marlin, Texas.
Gullette confirmed as much when he released his top seven schools and it featured the likes of Oklahoma along with Florida, Ohio State, Alabama, Miami, Texas, and Texas A&M. Gullette’s primary recruiter from Oklahoma is none other than the head man himself Brent Venables.

Gullette has been to OU once already this year for the March 5th Junior Day and will be making another trip to Oklahoma for the ChampU BBQ along with a slew of other Oklahoma targets.
Gullette plays linebacker for his high school but looks to be a versatile tweener that can put his hand in the ground to rush the passer and play off-ball linebacker. Gullette is a talented athletic prospect whose best football is likely in front of him as he hones in on a position.
He was a Class 3A first-team all-state selection at both WR and punter by the Texas Sportswriters Association all while being recruited by some of the biggest schools in the country as a linebacker/EDGE defender.
No decision date has been announced but with official visits to Texas and Ohio State along with his official to OU in June, it stands to reason that his recruitment is slowly coming to an end.
