Depending on which recruiting site you use, the Oklahoma Sooners still retain the No. 1 class in the 2027 recruiting cycle. They would like to carry that over to the 2028 recruiting class, because who wouldn’t? The 2027 class has a blend of everything and may be set up to be the best class OU has ever had.

The 2028 class doesn’t have a commitment yet. Now, it’s early, very early, but they would probably like to get that done soon. They did have one in 2028, just not anymore. The Sooners had a shocking development this offseason. Losing RB coach DeMarco Murray means they lost their No. 1 RB recruit in the 2028 recruiting class, Micah Rhodes.

OU still doesn’t have a commitment in the class, but they have been hard at work trying to get someone to kick things off. Their most recent offer, if they landed him, would be the best way possible to start the cycle. A’mir Sears, the No. 1 overall player in the class, just announced that he received an offer from the Sooners.

Oklahoma has sent out 71 offers so far for the 2028 recruiting cycle. It’s not a bad thing that they still don’t have a commitment, as we said; it’s early. The rankings for the 2028 class aren’t even out yet because most teams don’t have any players committed. However, landing would be an amazing way to start.

Who is 2028 athlete A’mir Sears?

Sears is the No. 1 player in 2028 and is listed as an athlete on all of the recruiting sites. In other words, he plays more than one position. It seems like the position he is most wanted for is cornerback, but he also plays offense and sometimes plays other positions as a defensive back.

2028 ATH A’mir Sears’ top offers

  • Miami Hurricanes
  • Auburn Tigers
  • Ohio State Buckeyes
  • LSU Tigers
  • Florida State Seminoles
  • Oklahoma Sooners

Sears is a local Miami kid, so they could be the front-runners as one of his best offers. However, the Sooners must like their odds, or they wouldn’t have extended an offer. We all know how it goes with OU—get them on campus for a visit, and let them talk ball with Venables, and a lot can change.

Sears is a very good player, and the Sooners would be lucky to land him.
