It was another rather quiet week on the recruiting trail for Oklahoma with the early signing period just over a month away on Dec. 4. 

On the field, the Sooners dismantled Maine 59-14 on Saturday in front of several recruits in attendance at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. OU did take a loss off the field the same day with a big-time recruit announcing his destination while also dishing out a local offer and battling a rival off the field the night before. 

Sooners Battling for Recruits on the Road

OU head coach Brent Venables and offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh were both in Lewisville (TX) on Friday night despite the early kick the next day. 

With Bedenbaugh present, 5-star offensive lineman commit Michael Fasusi had the spotlight, but there were also two other OU commits and a few offered prospects playing between the two teams. Fasusi drew a crowd, though, with Texas coach Steve Sarkisian also in attendance to get a look at the highly coveted prospect who pledged to the Sooners on Aug. 21. Texas, which was on a bye this week, was included in Fasusi’s top-five school choices, as well as Texas A&M, Missouri and Oregon. The Aggies are also reportedly trying to influence Fasusi to flip with early signing day nearing. 

On the other sideline playing for Denton Guyer (TX) were OU commits Kevin Sperry and Zane Rowe. Fasusi will likely be protecting Sperry one day as the Sooners’ quarterback commit in the 2025 class. Sperry is a 4-star prospect who has been committed to OU since March 2023. Rowe, a 4-star defensive lineman, is OU’s lone 2027 pledge right now. 

Local Offer

A local product has exploded recently and the biggest of Oklahoma offers finally came on Saturday. 

Jenks (OK) defensive lineman Cash Jacobsen announced the Sooners offered during his visit to Norman this weekend. Jacobsen, a 3-star recruit, decommitted from FCS South Dakota State on Oct. 12 and the FBS offers have been rolling in since. In less than a month, Jacobsen has also gotten offers from Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Boise State, USC and others. A second commitment from Jacobsen should be coming soon with the early signing period quickly approaching. 

Austin Pay Announcement 

Austin Pay, a 3-star offensive tackle from American Fork (UT), committed to BYU on Saturday shortly after OU’s game concluded. Pay’s final three included the Cougars, OU and Oregon.
