The Oklahoma Sooners are working to solidify their [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag] with the early signing period approaching. After a 6-6 season and the worst offenses the Sooners have put on the field over the last 25 years, the Sooners made a change at offensive coordinator that could have ripple effects on the rest of the signing class.
Arguably the biggest name in the 2025 cycle that the Sooners are hoping to have in Norman next year is [autotag]Michael Fasusi[/autotag]. Everything has pointed to Fasusi staying committed to the Sooners but given the turmoil the offense has been in and the uncertainty surrounding the offensive staff beyond this season, Fasusi took visits to Texas and Texas A&M in recent weeks to further explore his options.
Those visits have On3 recruiting analysts Steve Wiltfong and Chad Simmons uncertain about where Fasusi ends up. In a piece for On3, Wiltfong and Simmons evaluated some of the top prospects in the class, including Fasusi, and projected where they’d sign, offering a level of confidence to their prediction as well.
For Fasusi, they believe it’ll be Oklahoma, but their confidence level is low.
Texas and Texas A&M had Michael Fasusi on campus the last two weekends, but he goes into signing day committed to Oklahoma. Out of the in-state schools Texas A&M has a little more buzz than Texas, but he has relationships at both in-state schools and they will recruit him hard until he signs the papers. Will that be enough? Oklahoma is in this deep. The relationships are strong. He felt good about the Sooners in August and they hope to make that commitment official on Wednesday. – Simmons, On3
All signs point to Bill Bedenbaugh staying on as offensive line coach after the hiring of Ben Arbuckle. As it should be. Despite the down year for the offensive line, Bedenbaugh is widely regarded as one of the best offensive line coaches in the business at every level of the sport. Bedenbaugh’s track record and his relationship with Fasusi are the major driving forces in the recruitment.
Oklahoma appears to be in a really strong position to land the five-star prospect out of Lewisville, Texas. But nothing’s certain until pen is put to paper. Where will Michael Fasusi sign? We’ll find out soon with the early signing period opening on Wednesday.
