    Where does Oklahoma stand with blue-chip prospects for the 2025 recruiting class?

    Oklahoma’s 2025 recruiting class has come together nicely. The Sooners sit inside the top 10 of 247Sports team recruiting rankings with a little over five months until the December early signing period.

    It’s a class bolstered by top-100 players C.J. Nickson and Ryan Fodje. But the Sooners are still in pursuit of four of the best players in the cycle, including three players that rank inside the top 30 of 247Sports Top247. Andrew Bablola, Jonah Williams, and Michael Fasusi are the five-star targets the Sooners are hoping they can earn a commitment from in 2025. They’re also pursuing four-star linebacker Christian Jones.

    So, where do things stand with these top prospects?

    Andrew Babalola, OT

    The five-star prospect out of Kansas appears to be down to three teams with Michigan, Stanford, and Oklahoma in the mix. While the Sooners are still in pursuit, buzz appears to be more focused on Michigan and Stanford at the moment for Andrew Babalola.

    Commitment Date: August 12

    Michael Fasusi, OT

    Another five-star offensive tackle the Oklahoma Sooners are heavily recruiting is Michael Fasusi. He’s spoken highly of offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh, but the Sooners will have to overcome heavy recruitments from Texas and Texas A&M.

    Commitment Date: August 21

    Christian Jones, LB

    Only recently have the Oklahoma Sooners asserted themselves in the recruitment of Nebraska native and four-star linebacker Christian Jones. But they’ve picked up some serious momentum after his official visit at the end of June. After predictions to start the month favored the Sooners, the middle of July turned things in Nebraska‘s favor as Steve Wiltfong of On3 predicted the Cornhuskers to land Jones.

    Commitment Date: Not set

    Jonah Williams, S

    In one of the more intriguing recruiting battles in the 2025 recruiting class, the pursuit of Jonah Williams has had its ebbs and flows. At one point, Oklahoma looked like the heavy favorite, only for Texas A&M and then Oregon to steal that momentum away. But don’t look for the Sooners to lay back. They’ll continue to work to turn the tide back to the Sooners. This is a recruitment that will likely go down to the early signing period and it’s anyone’s guess where the five-star safety lands.

    Commitment Date: Not set
