It’s been quite the summer for the Oklahoma Sooners. A 2023 recruiting class that hadn’t made much movement before June has been like an Oklahoma heatwave, burning up the recruiting trail the last few months. That continued on Friday night as the Sooners did a two-step, landing speedster Anthony Evans and athletic defensive back prospect Makari Vickers.
That brings the Oklahoma Sooners commitment count to 22 as the 2022 season gets underway. A recruiting class that was ranked in the 40s before June 1 has risen all the way into the top five of 247Sports team recruiting rankings.
With five-star prospect David Hicks still trending in Oklahoma’s direction, the Sooners have a great shot at landing a top-three class in the 2023 cycle.
Let’s see where Oklahoma ranks after the commitments of Anthony Evans and Makari Vickers.
