Following a season in which its offense generally held it back from reaching greater heights, Oklahoma has made a point of improving every aspect of that side of the ball this offseason.
And on Saturday, Brent Venables‘ program received some good news regarding the future of that goal.
According to Rivals’ Hayes Fawcett, Class of 2027 tight end Seneca Driver announced his commitment to join the Sooners, giving OU a keystone target to build around down the line.
A 6-foot-6 tight end, Driver chose Oklahoma over the likes of Notre Dame, Kentucky, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee and Texas A&M.
According to 247Sports, the Danville, Kentucky native is rated as the No. 3 tight end prospect in the Class of 2027 and the top recruit in the state.
Driver becomes just the latest member of Oklahoma’s highly touted 2027 class, which currently tops the 247Sports’ Composite. The group is made up of 18 commits, with Driver becoming the first tight end in the class and the only recruit from Kentucky.
Venables’ 2026 class ranked 16th overall in the nation, but with a renewed focus in the school’s NIL and recruiting departments, Oklahoma appears to be going all-in on the trail in the future.
