Oklahoma football may not be in action on Saturday, but the Sooners still earned a win on the recruiting trail. Four-star linebacker Tyland Henderson announced his commitment to Brent Venables and the Sooners Saturday evening, picking OU over Oregon, SMU and Washington to name a few.
According to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Henderson is the No. 224 prospect in the country. He is the No. 19 linebacker in the class and the No. 29-ranked player in the state of Texas.
With his commitment, the Sooners now have the No. 1 class in 2028 after passing Ohio State. On Friday, Oklahoma secured a commitment from Kamieon Compton-Nero, who is also a four-star recruit in the class. The Sooners now have seven commitments in the class.
While the Sooners haven’t been able to win as many games as Venables had hoped, he is showing the ability to get players to see Norman as the place they want to continue to play their college football.
Kickoff between the Rebels and the Sooners will be at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, and the game will be on the SEC Network.
