Oklahoma Sooners are now being predicted to land one of the more elite athletes in the 2028 recruiting class
The Oklahoma Sooners are ready to get their 2028 recruiting class going with an elite in-state trend set by Kamieon Compton-Nero.
The Oklahoma Sooners are building momentum in their 2028 recruiting class, and the latest prediction suggests they could be on the verge of adding one of the top players in the country.
Rivals’ Sam Spiegelman originally projected four-star athlete Kamieon Compton-Nero, the No. 1 player in the state of Oklahoma, to land with the Sooners. Compton-Nero is a 6’3, 190-pound prospect out of Owasso with a 92.53 composite rating on Rivals. He ranks as the No. 2 athlete in the country and a top-40 overall player nationally. Now, Rivals’ Steve Wiltfong is predicting it, too.
Oklahoma currently holds an 82.8% prediction to land Compton-Nero, with Spiegelman’s individual confidence at 65%. The Sooners’ proximity to Owasso has played a role in this recruitment. Compton-Nero has visited Oklahoma five times, more than any other school on his list. His other top options include Ole Miss (four visits), Arkansas (three visits), SMU (two visits), Arizona State (one visit), and Texas A&M (one visit).
Sooners’ 2028 class is small but growing
Right now, Oklahoma has just one commit in the 2028 recruiting class: quarterback Trey Tagliaferri, who flipped from Notre Dame. That number may seem low, but 2028 National Signing Day is a long way off, and the Sooners have been aggressive in sending out offers across the board.
The coaching staff has already extended offers to two other four-star athletes in the 2028 class. On the offensive side, Oklahoma has been active in pursuing playmakers at wide receiver. One name to watch there is Carson LaCombe, the four-star wideout out of San Antonio, Texas, whom the Sooners have a projection to land as well.
The Sooners are very excited to go after Compton-Nero. He’s expected to be at the home opener on Friday against UTEP. And, in return, he’s posted the video that Brent Venables left him with the entire coaching and recruiting staff all in the meeting room to make a video just for Compton-Nero. This team desperately wants him.
