At this point, it feels like a foregone conclusion, but the Oklahoma Sooners look to be trending toward a commitment from 2023 four-star edge Colton Vasek out of Austin Westlake in Texas.
Vasek, the son of a former Texas defensive end, spent time in Austin with the Longhorns before visiting Norman for the Party at the Palace. Based on the early returns from Friday’s event, it appears the Sooners made a strong impression on the talented defensive end.
After receiving several predictions on Saturday to land Vasek, the Sooners received a crystal ball prediction to get a commitment from 247Sports Steve Wiltfong on Sunday.
After Oklahoma was included inside the top five for Colton Vasek in early June, it appears the Sooners are the odds-on favorite to land the Texas product.
This would mark the second edge player in the last couple of weeks to commit to the Sooners, who earlier landed Adepoju Adebawore, another four-star edge rusher in the 2023 recruiting class.
Oklahoma is recruiting defense at a high level under Brent Venables, and we haven’t seen anything yet.
