The last few months have been something of a whirlwind for the Oklahoma Sooners when it comes to recruiting, but in a good way. They are on fire right now, and they are taking the players they want from other schools that also want those players.

And, they aren't slowing down anytime soon. In the last two months, they have received commitments from players at almost every single position. They haven't been the biggest names in the game, but they have been guys that they really want, and to them, that's what matters most.

They aren't getting every single four-star, and they certainly aren't getting every single five-star. But, they are getting guys who they believe will improve their football team. They are actually closing in on one of those guys now, a guy who happens to be one of the highest-rated recruits left available who has not yet made his decision.


Sooners predicted to land 2026 WR Davian Groce

According to several reporters, the Sooners are being predicted to land Davian Groce, as the prediction has been submitted by Sam Spiegelman of On3.

Davian Groce, a standout wide receiver from Frisco Lone Star High School in Frisco, Texas, is considered one of the top prospects in the 2026 class and is definitely one of the best remaining. At 6'2" and 190 pounds, Groce has shown he can play multiple positions in the WR room, but also as an RB, where he excels as both a running back and wide receiver. 

His sophomore year stats were impressive, with 936 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns, and he also recorded 45 receptions for 860 yards with 9 touchdowns, demonstrating his all-around athletic talent. Yes, those are real numbers. He kind of did it all for his team.

His remarkable performance this last year has earned him high rankings among recruiting services, where 247Sports ranked him as the No. 1 running back in the nation for the 2026 class and the No. 1 overall prospect in Texas. But, should he join Oklahoma, he would likely be a wide receiver. That seems to be the position he's predicted to play in college.

Goce's other options seem to be Baylor, Florida, Texas A&M, and Notre Dame.
