BREAKING: Oklahoma Sooners Land Massive Boost as Elite 2028 WR Names OU Among Final 12
The Oklahoma Sooners continue to build momentum on the recruiting trail, and one of their earliest evaluations is proving to be a major success.
Brendyn Jackson, a four-star wide receiver in the 2028 recruiting class from Midlothian High School in Texas, announced his top 12 college choices on Sunday via X. Oklahoma earned a coveted spot on the list alongside SEC powerhouses Texas, Texas A&M, Missouri, Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Kentucky, as well as Baylor, Illinois, SMU, Texas Tech, and TCU.
Jackson’s announcement highlights just how highly regarded the Sooners are in his recruitment. Even more impressive, Oklahoma was one of the very first major programs to recognize his talent. Among the schools in his final 12, only Texas Tech offered Jackson before the Sooners extended their scholarship.
That early belief could pay significant dividends as Oklahoma continues to battle some of the nation’s top programs for the explosive playmaker’s commitment. Establishing a strong relationship early in the recruiting process has become a key strategy for Brent Venables and his staff, and Jackson’s recruitment appears to be another example of that approach.
While Jackson’s recruitment is still in its early stages, making the final 12 keeps Oklahoma firmly in contention for one of the top wide receiver prospects in the 2028 class. With elite programs across the country vying for his commitment, the Sooners will look to capitalize on the strong foundation they’ve already built.
As the recruiting battle heats up, Oklahoma fans will be watching closely to see if the Sooners can turn their early investment into a future commitment from one of Texas’ brightest young stars.
