With the transfer portal window mostly closed and Oklahoma's 2024 recruiting class fully signed, Brent Venables and company have spent the past month focusing on the upcoming cycles. 

The Sooners have extended offers to plenty of high school prospects over the past few weeks, including six more talented recruits since last Sunday. 

Most notably, Seth Littrell and OU's offensive staff offered three sophomore quarterbacks this week in Lake Mary (FL) 4-star signal called Noah Grubbs, Newport Harbor (CA) standout Jaden O'Neal and Jones (FL) QB Dereon Coleman. 

Listed at 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds, Grubbs is rated the No. 32 overall player and No. 3 quarterback in the 2026 recruiting class, according to Rivals. A 4-star recruit, Grubbs has pulled in over 20 offers from programs like Texas A&M, Notre Dame, Penn State and Michigan. 

Grubbs, who also plays baseball, has already logged visits to Miami and Florida in addition to a few of the aforementioned programs. 

Coleman, also from the Sunshine State, picked up an offer from Oklahoma this week as well. 

Listed at 6-foot-1 and 160 pounds, the Jones, FL, star has received a large handful of offers as well, with more than 15 schools around the nation already expressing their interest. 

Despite offers from Nebraska, Arkansas, Mississippi, Texas A&M and others, it appears that Littrell and the Sooners are in currently in the lead for Coleman, as Rivals' reporter Parker Thune placed an official prediction that the sophomore signal caller would end up in Norman. 

If Oklahoma is able to land the talented dual-threat quarterback, it would be a huge start to the Sooners' 2026 recruiting class that already boasts 4-star running back Jonathan Hatton. 

At Jones High School, Coleman was teammates with 4-star 2024 quarterback Trever Jackson, who picked up an offer from OU when Jeff Lebby was still calling plays. 

Additionally, Coleman trains with Baylin Trujillo, a quarterback specialist based in Orlando who also works with Grubbs and handful of other talented QBs. 

O'Neal, a 6-foot-3, 215-pound sophomore from Newport Beach, CA, was the third 2026 quarterback to pick up an offer from Littrell and company this week. 

Despite not being ranked by any of the major recruiting services yet, O'Neal has already racked up 20 offers, including schools like Florida State, Washington, Oregon, Penn State and others. 

In addition to his size, observers rave about O'Neal's arm strength, mentioning that he can not only put the ball deep downfield, but also deliver long throws with impressive velocity.

Also in California, the Sooners offered a pair 4-star 2026 prospects in Sam Utu and Kayden Dixon-Wyatt this week.

Utu, who plays offensive tackle at Orange Lutheran (CA), is rated the No. 25 overall player and No. 6 tackle in the nation, according to 247Sports. Listed at 6-foot-4 and 295 pounds, Utu has already received offers from Georgia, USC, Washington, Michigan, Texas and others. 

Dixon-Wyatt, a 6-foot-1 wide receiver from Mater Dei (CA), is also a coveted prospect. Rated the No. 76 overall player in the 2026 class, Dixon-Wyatt holds offers from Alabama, Georgia, Washington, Texas and others. 

In the Peach State, OU offered sophomore wideout Devin Carter of Cedar Grove (GA). 

Rated the No. 35 overall player and No. 5 wide receiver in the 2026 recruiting class according to 247Sports, Carter is a highly touted prospect who has already heard from Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State, USC, Florida State and others.

Devin's father, Dexter, played running back for the Seminoles before being selected in the first round of the 1990 NFL Draft. Dexter Carter ran for 460 yards as a rookie with the San Francisco 49ers and went on to win a Super Bowl with the team.

This marked the first week that the Sooners' coaching staff focused solely on the 2026 recruiting class, pushing to get an early start on what will be an important class for OU. 

Coming up in early March, Oklahoma will host its annual "Future Freaks" event, which is mostly dedicated to 2026 and 2027 prospects.
