Sooners defensive line target Smith Orogbo commits to Texas

The Oklahoma Sooners are still working to add defensive line depth for the 2025 recruiting class. Though they’ve earned commitments from interior defensive linemen Trent Wilson and Ka'Mori Moore and defensive ends Alexander Shieldnight and C.J. Nickson , the defensive staff had been in pursuit of other players on the edge.

After missing on Max Granville , who chose Penn State, the Sooners turned their attention to Smith Orogbo . At the time, it appeared Oklahoma might pull off a recruiting win over Texas Tech. However, it’s the Sooners’ Red River rivals who are adding the dynamic edge rusher.

On Monday, Orogbo committed to the Texas Longhorns . He’s a talented pass rusher with significant upside due to his fantastic athleticism.

The Sooners still have a dynamic defensive end duo in Shieldnight and Nickson to build the future of their defensive end group around, and they are well within the top 10 recruiting classes in the country as we enter July.

The Sooners turn their attention to securing commitments from Cortez Mills and Omarion Robinson along with priority offensive line targets Michael Fasusi , Lamont Rogers , Andrew Babalola , and Ty Haywood .
