Oklahoma Sooners earn commitment from ESPN 4-star 2026 defensive lineman
The Oklahoma Sooners scored a big win on the recruiting trail earlier this week, earning a commitment from 2026 five-star edge rusher Jake Kreul. Just days later, the Sooners added another defensive line prospect in the 2026 recruiting class, James Carrington. Carrington is an ESPN four-star prospect in the cycle and has a significant offer sheet from across the college football landscape. Just a couple of days ago, Carrington decommitted from Florida State, and the expectation was that he would commit to Oklahoma. Steve Wiltfong of Rivals issued a futurecast favoring the Oklahoma Sooners shortly after he decommitted from the Seminoles. Carrington chose the Sooners over 25 Power Four offers, including nine SEC offers from schools like Alabama, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Tennessee, South Carolina, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma. He's the No. 33 defensive line prospect in the nation and the No. 30 player in the state of California. The Sooners currently have the No. 21 class in the 2026 recruiting cycle after this week's commitments. Defensive tackles coach Todd Bates and defensive ends coach Miguel Chavis have built a strong defensive line recruiting class with commitments from Brian Harris, Matthew Nelson, Daniel Norman, Jake Kreul, and now James Carrington. Carrington is the 17th player pledged to Oklahoma's 2026 recruiting class.
