Oklahoma Sooners 2028 commit just did the unthinkable before letting everyone know he’s still locked in with OU
The Oklahoma Sooners have to be excited about 2028 quarterback commit Trey Tagliaferri.
The Oklahoma Sooners are on the bye week. So, why not take a look at some of their committed players and what they did this week? Let’s turn to 2028 committed quarterback Trey Tagliaferri.
Soonerscoop’s Parker Thune went and watched him play this week. And, according to Thune, he did the unthinkable. Thune reports that Tagliaferri and his team were down 24-0 to one of the top 25 high school football teams in the nation, then had a 34-30 comeback win with 340 yards and five touchdown passes. That kind of performance can’t go unnoticed. The Sooners have to love what they’re seeing from their future QB. They especially have to, given the road it took to get him.
Sooners have a great future in store with Trey Tagliaferri
Four-star quarterback Trey Tagliaferri, a top-100 prospect nationally and the No. 11 quarterback in the country, flipped his commitment from Notre Dame to Oklahoma just days after initially pledging to the Fighting Irish. The New Jersey product is the No. 6 player in his state and chose the Sooners over Penn State, Rutgers, and Alabama.
Tagliaferri’s recruitment took a winding path. He first committed to Notre Dame, which made geographic sense for a New Jersey kid. But days later he decommitted, and shortly after that, he committed to Oklahoma. Most recruiting observers expected the flip, and it happened.
Listed at 6’1, 190 pounds, Tagliaferri put up strong numbers as a sophomore in high school: 2,238 passing yards, 29 touchdown passes, and just three interceptions. The arm talent stands out on tape. He advances in the pocket with good awareness, and while he’s not a dynamic runner, he has decent mobility. His throwing ability and pocket presence make him a legitimate prospect at the next level, and he’ll only improve as he enters his junior and senior seasons.
Oklahoma has built a reputation for recruiting and developing quarterbacks at a high level, and that clearly factored into Tagliaferri’s decision. He visited Norman only once before committing, which speaks to the impression the coaching staff made.
