And just like that, the Oklahoma Sooners received their first commitment in the 2024 recruiting cycle. Four-star cornerback Jeremiah Newcombe announced via Twitter he’s committing to the University of Oklahoma.
The Sooners break the ice with the No. 209 player in the 247Sports composite. Over the weekend, Oklahoma received a flurry of predictions for Jeremiah Newcombe after hosting him in Norman this week.
Newcombe received 16 Power Five offers, which included Colorado, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Ole Miss, USC, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin.
The Sooners came away with a huge recruiting win for a player that’s considered a four-star talent per 247Sports, Rivals, and On3. Out of Queen Creek, Ariz., Newcombe is the No. 3 player in the state of Arizona in the 247Sports composite and the No. 18 cornerback.
Newcombe is a fantastic athlete, playing both on offense and defense for Casteel. At cornerback, he displays fantastic play recognition and comes downhill in a hurry on wide receiver screens and in run support. Playing a lot of off-corner, he showed fantastic discipline and awareness in zone coverage. He plays like the fastest player on the field.
