The Oklahoma Sooners are on fire on the field and off the field. They’re 9-2 and have a spot in the College Football Playoff if they beat the LSU Tigers. Off the field, they are recruiting extremely well. We know about some of the flips set to happen, but now they’ve got their eyes on a 2027 quarterback in Jamison Roberts, who could end up committing to the Sooners.

Steve Wiltfong of Rivals predicted that Oklahoma would land Roberts, not long after the Sooners offered the three-star quarterback.

“It was pretty calm. Coach Buck [Ben Arbuckle] came in and just said, ‘after talking with everyone on the staff, we just wanna offer you’,” Roberts told SoonerScoop.com. “They offered me [Sunday] morning. I just came in there with high hopes, and they offered. It blew my expectations out of the water. I really enjoyed all the conversations and people I met!”

Oklahoma Sooners see something in Roberts

College football programs don’t always look at how many starts are next to a player’s name. Well, the good programs don’t do that. Brent Venables and his staff focus on player fit and potential, recruiting three-star players and even prospects with no stars, if they see value.

There are so many good three-star players on the Sooners right now, like true freshman cornerback Courtland Guillory, and defensive end Taylor Wein, who looks like the best player on the team right now. Stars don’t mean anything, so if they send an offer to Roberts, it’s because whatever they see on tape, they really, really like.

Also, with Roberts being a 2027 recruit, there is still plenty of time for him to develop, and they have to be thinking the potential outweighs the three-star rating.

The 6-3, 190-pound quarterback from Saraland High School in Mobile, Alabama, is the 16th-best player in Alabama and the 53rd-best quarterback in the class. But as we said, the Sooners don’t care about any of that.
