Isaiah Garcia, a 2024 offensive lineman from Draper, UT, announced his top 10 schools on Tuesday, with OU making the cut. 

This comes two days after the Sooners cracked the top five of fellow 2024 4-star offensive lineman Jason Zandamela.

Garcia is rated a 4-star prospect by ESPN, On3 and 247Sports, coming in as the No. 1 player in Utah for all three outlets. According to ESPN and On3, the Corner Canyon standout is one of the top 200 players in the nation. 

The Oklahoma target has over 20 offers from schools around the country. After announcing his top 10 however, Garcia will "focus on" Nebraska, UCLA, Miami, Alabama, USC, OU, Oregon, Washington, Stanford and Utah. 

The Sooners offered Garcia in February, but have yet to get him on campus. The big-time recruit has taken visits to multiple schools along the West Coast, however.

Listed at 6-foot-5, 280 pounds, Garcia appears poised for a big senior season. After an impressive junior year, he was selected to play in the 2024 Polynesian Bowl and the 2024 Under Armour All-America Game. 

Currently, Utah is the favorite to land the Beehive State's top prospect, according to 247Sports Crystal Ball Predictions. Oklahoma, who only has one offensive line pledge in the 2024 cycle, would get a major boost by adding the stellar interior player to the class. 

Two 4-stars announcing that they will continue to consider OU in their recruitment signals that Sooners' offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh has been busy on the recruiting trail. 

After losing out on in-state stud Xadavien Sims on May 20, the recent announcements of Danny Okoye, Jason Zandamela and Isaiah Garcia should be an illustration to Oklahoma fans that the Sooners still have the chance to end 2024 with a great class. 

June marks a big month in recruiting for OU, who will host the Brent Venables football camp June 1, 3, 8, 13 and 15. Additionally, 2025 Sherman (TX) linebacker Kane Bowen said that he will visit Norman on June 8. 

Oklahoma will get the chance to make a good impression on a large number of prospects at its 2023 ChampU BBQ in June. This massive recruiting event has been a fixture since the days of Lincoln Riley, and has netted multiple commitments for the Sooners in previous years.
