Lincoln Riley and the Oklahoma Sooners have been on an absolute tear in the 2023 recruiting class of late. It started with the commitment of four-star athlete Treyaun Webb.
While listed as an athlete, Webb is viewed as a dual threat at running back. Webb can be used as a runner or can catch the ball out of the backfield.
That commitment was followed by five-star quarterback Malachi Nelson’s. He becomes the third five-star commitment for Riley at the position. The previous two were Spencer Rattler and Caleb Williams. Nelson completes the trifecta. With the quarterback of the class locked up, the offensive players around him should follow. More on that in a moment.

On Friday, the Sooners added four-star tight end Luke Hasz to the mix. The Oklahoma native is listed as the No. 2 tight end in the country. While some teams don’t have the luxury of top-tier tight ends, Riley’s offense uses them as an advantage. Hasz and Webb give the Sooners a nice trio along with Nelson at quarterback. OU wasn’t done.

On Saturday, the Sooners received their fourth pledge of the class, five-star athlete Makai Lemon. While listed as an athlete, Lemon is going to play wide receiver for the Sooners. He is already catching passes from Nelson; they are teammates at Los Alamitos. Lemon adds another five-star pass catcher to an already loaded offense in Norman.

Sooners Wire looks at three more offensive weapons who could be next to pledge to the Crimson and Cream. One of those players is expected to be catching passes from Malachi Nelson the next two seasons.
