SMU gets four-star receiver over SEC powerhouse programs
The SMU Mustangs picked up a huge recruiting win on Sunday. Four-star receiver Aljour Miles announced he would be headed to Dallas. The Kaufman (Texas) prospect had offers from several top programs around the country, but will stay close to home. SMU has posted two consecutive 11-3 seasons under head coach Rhett Lashlee and it appears the Mustangs will be competitive in the ACC this year after making the College Football Playoff. As a junior, Miles caught 81 passes for 1,437 yards and 14 TDs with 17.7 yards per reception in 12 games. Advertisement At 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds, Miles is ranked as the No. 70 wide receiver in the nation and No. 57 overall prospect in the country, according to 247Sports. He's a physical receiver who will use his length for 50/50 balls. "Consistently maximizes catch windows with superior physical tools. Effective to all levels with encouraging route snap, spatial awareness, and dexterous strength that often wins in a crowd," 247Sports' Gabe Brooks said about Miles. Related: Former SMU four-star running back on the move again SMU offered Miles a scholarship nearly a full year ago and kept pursuing the talented receiver with SEC visits on the books. The Mustangs hosted a massive group of visitors this weekend with Miles ready to work.

Oklahoma Sooners leading the way for talented 4-Star prospect out of Texas
Oklahoma Sooners leading the way for talented 4-Star prospect out of Texas The Oklahoma Sooners continue to pick up steam for four-star wide receiver prospect Aljour Miles. This week, a number of predictions have come in favoring the Sooners for the Kaufman, Texas product. The most recent came from 247Sports Mike Roach, but Miles was also predicted to land with the Sooners by Josh McCusition of SoonerScoop and On3 and Collin Kennedy of Sooners Illustrated and 247Sports. Back in February, Sam Spiegelman of Rivals issued a FutureCast favoring the Oklahoma Sooners in the recruitment of the fast-rising prospect out of Texas. The Sooners have been the favorite dating back to a FutureCast from OUInsider's Parker Thune back in July. Here's what I had to say about Aljour Miles back in February. Miles is a big play waiting to happen. He has the speed to run by the defense and does a great job tracking the football in the air. He's a physical player after the catch, displaying a willingness to take on contact to try and gain extra yards. Miles has really good hands and is able to make plays in traffic. The Oklahoma Sooners only have one wide receiver committed to the 2026 recruiting class: four-star prospect out of California, Daniel Odom. Miles has the size and ability to be a standout at the collegiate level. If the predictions hold, he'll be making plays for the Oklahoma Sooners in the future.

Oklahoma Sooners predicted to land 3-Star WR out of Texas
The Oklahoma Sooners wide receiver room has seen a significant overhaul over the last few months. This time last year wide receiver was viewed as a position of strength, and now it's a group that faces questions heading into 2025. On the recruiting trail, Oklahoma needs to retool in the 2026 recruiting class after taking just two players at the position in 2025. They brought it Elijah Thomas and Emmanuel Choice but need to continue building their depth. OU has a commitment from Daniel Odom and are trending in a favorable position for Norman's Mason James. On Thursday evening, Sam Spiegelman of Rivals issued a Futurecast favoring the Sooners to land three-star wide receiver Aljour Miles. Out of Kaufman, Texas, Miles is a big play waiting to happen. He has the speed to run by the defense and does a great job tracking the football in the air. He's a physical player after the catch, displaying a willingness to take on contact to try and gain extra yards. Miles has really good hands and is able to make plays in traffic. Miles is expected to take an official visit with the Sooners on June 20. He's also expected to visit Texas Tech, SMU, and USC and has a number of Power Four offers from schools across the country.
