Oklahoma landed a big-time commitment in the class of 2026 on Monday afternoon.
OU’s postseason ambitions are not the only success it’s finding. On Monday, the Sooners notched a win on the recruiting trail, flipping 4-star running back Jonathan Hutton from Texas A&M.
The Cibolo-Steele standout stands at 6-foot-1, 215 pounds, initially committed to Oklahoma early in the process but later switched his commitment to Texas A&M. However, Oklahoma remained persistent in its efforts to bring Hutton back into the fold, culminating in his recommitment ahead of the early signing period scheduled for December 3-5.
