The Oklahoma Sooners got off to a bit of a slow start to the year with their recruiting of the class of 2026, due to some staff changes at offensive coordinator and the realignment of their focus with Jim Nagy taking over as General Manager.
However, they have picked up steam over the last few weeks, reeling in commitment after commitment. On Friday, the Sooners picked up another major one, as four-star defensive tackle Brian Harris committed to play in Norman.
The four-star defensive tackle out of Mandarin High School in Jacksonville, Florida, chose the Sooners over other blue bloods like Michigan, Alabama, and Penn State. Harris was named DL MVP of the Under Armour Next camp in Orlando this year after a terrific performance there. The 6'4, 290-pound defensive tackle is a toolsy athlete with good explosiveness off the line of scrimmage and long arms.
He's played at both defensive tackle and defensive end in high school, but is likely to play inside for the Sooners. Given his body type and style of play, Harris is a perfect fit at the three-technique spot for the Sooners. He would slide right in behind Gracen Halton and David Stone.
This is an important pickup for the Sooners, who needed to address the future of their defensive line in the 2026 class. After this season, both Halton and Damonic Williams will graduate. When that happens, Jayden Jackson and Stone would slide right in behind them, but the Sooners currently have just two players with any eligibility behind them, and one of them is true freshman Trent Wilson.
Harris's commitment also keeps the Sooners' recent momentum in the class of 2026 rolling. He represents the third commitment to Oklahoma in the last ten days alone, an important start for the team as they look to make a strong push over the summer to rebound into another top ten class.
