Breaking News: Oklahoma Sooners news: Massive recruiting break, potential impact freshmen, OU serious national contender
The Oklahoma Sooners got a massive recruiting break on Saturday when 2026 wide receiver commit Daniel Odom reassured his pledge to OU. “This is one of the toughest decisions I have had to make in my life,” Odom wrote. “With that being said, I am only one person & I can only choose one school. After much prayer & consideration I have decided that I will not be choosing another university. “Effective immediately, I’m shutting down down my recruitment & 100% committed to Oklahoma.”
Odom made this announcement as there’s been worry about his commitment to OU. Earlier this week, it was reported that Odom was planning to visit Colorado during this season, which doesn’t seem to be happening now. He also took official visits to Florida State and Washington this summer. That’s now water under the bridge, though, as the Sooners kept from losing their only wide receiver commit so far.

Venables first mentioned a trio of offensive linemen in Daniel Akinkunmi, Michael Fasusi and Ryan Fodge. “I think you’ll see Mike Fasusi, Ryan Fodje, that couple of freshmen offensive linemen that are mature beyond their years — mentally and physically,” Venables said.
Defensively, Venables mentioned defensive end Danny Okoye, cornerback Courtland Guillory, defensive tackle Trent Wilson and safety Omarion Robinson. “Those are the names that jump out at me right away, but the test of the season will tell,” Venables said.
