Oklahoma Commit, Numerous OU Targets Shine in Tulsa Scrimmages

Ka'Mori Moore showed why he's the Sooners' first defensive line commit in the 2025 class, while Devon Jordan and Isaiah Mozee staged a competitive one-on-one matchup.

TULSA — Ka’Mori Moore gave Sooner Nation a tantalizing preview of what their team will be getting in the future.

The big defensive tackle from Lee’s Summit North High School journeyed with his team all the way from Kansas City to Oklahoma on Thursday night and put on a show.

Moore, a 6-foot-1, 300-pound interior lineman in the 2025 recruiting class, is rated a 3-star prospect by 247 Sports and On3, and showed why he was the Sooners’ first defensive line commit of the class.

“I’m glad I committed to Oklahoma,” Moore said. “I’m very happy about it. Actually, it’s a great school — great history. You know, they make players. Coach (Brent) Venables, he’s a dude. And he makes dudes. They got Coach Smitty (Jerry Schmidt), the best of the best in the weight room.”

Going against talented offensive lines from Bentonville (AR) and Tulsa Union, Moore shined by routinely beating his blocker with a quick first step, low pad level and explosive strength. As he gets older and gains more experience, he'll pick up various techniques and learn how to use his hands to separate from blockers, rather than just physically overpower them.

Moore had a couple quarterback pressures and finished with three total tackles, but was constantly pushing the pocket and rerouting runners to his linebackers and ends for stops — many of which were tackles for loss.

He said his goal was to “be disruptive, but I want to make some plays for myself. Like, I was out there and I wasn’t really doing what I needed to do. But I was helping out the team. I wanted to complete some of my personal goals also. I want to get more tackles, more fumbles, more sacks, all that.”

Moore, who said he’ll be visiting Oklahoma again for the Sooners’ season opener against Arkansas State on Sept. 2, said OU d-line coach Todd Bates is “my guy,” and said the two are “getting close. I could tell from the first time I met him it was something different.”

Some of Moore’s success may be attributed to his past experiences practicing against a former teammate now in his freshman year at OU.

“My boy Cayden — Cayden Green — he goes there and that was just a plus for it. He made me look at it more, and then when I really did look at it, like, it was way bigger. It just felt like home, really. It felt different than any other school I’ve been to.”

Moore said on Twitter when he pledged to OU that he wanted to be the Sooners’ first commitment on the d-line in 2025. He explained that further on Thursday.

“I gotta start it off if I want to make it big,” he said. “We’re gonna be the No. 1 class in 2025 come my senior year. The No. 1 recruiting class is gonna be Oklahoma.”

Moore was Oklahoma’s only verbal commit playing in the four-team scrimmage at Union High School, but he was just one of a handful of prospects the Sooner coaching staff has had their eye on.

Williams Nwaneri, a 5-star defensive end and considered by some to be the No. 1 overall prospect in the country, played on Moore’s outside edge and was frequently causing havoc in the opposing backfield.

The 6-6, 270-pound Nwaneri committed to Missouri on Monday over Georgia and Oklahoma, but on Thursday night he was wearing OU gloves and shoes and told AllSooners he was “showing love” and “having fun” but also said the OU staff was still recruiting him and he intended to “let the season play out” but also affirmed that he’s still “committed to Mizzou.”

Two other OU prospects staged a competitive one-on-one battle as Union cornerback Devon Jordan and Lee’s Summit North wide receiver Isaiah Mozee were frequently pitted against each other.

After catching four passes in the quarter scrimmage against Bentonville, Mozee had a little tougher time matched up against Jordan, although he still hauled in three receptions, including a late third-down conversion on the game-clinching drive.

Jordan and Mozee engaged in a little spirited trash talk but stayed mostly physical with each other. Both were wearing Oklahoma receiver gloves during the scrimmage and could become future teammates.

“Yeah, it was good competition,” Mozee said. “Yeah. It was cool.”

Jordan is a 3-star 2024 cornerback, according to 247 Sports, with a nose for the football and elite reaction time. At 5-11 and 168 pounds, Jordan isn’t overpowering but still plays physical and relishes contact. He was glued to Mozee on most of the underneath routes, but lost him once on a deep ball that was just overthrown and off Mozee’s fingertips.

Jordan’s top five list consists of OU, Oklahoma State, Alabama, TCU and Texas A&M.

Mozee is a 4-star 2025 wide receiver, per 247, the No. 7 wideout in the country and the No. 1 player in Missouri in the ’25 class. At 6-1 and 185 pounds, he also enjoys the tough, physical elements of football, but has plenty of elusiveness, natural vision and explosion to avoid defenders. He also displayed lots of versatility, playing both sides of the field as well as both the wide receiver and slot receiver positions. He also got a few snaps at defensive back on Thursday.

Mozee is largely down to OU, Oregon and Tennessee, although his options are open.

Mozee’s dad is Jamar Mozee, the former Sooners running back and LSN’s head coach.

“I like Oklahoma a lot,” Isaiah Mozee said. As of right now, definitely one of my top schools.”
