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.

Oklahoma Sooners predicted to land electric in-state wide receiver
The Oklahoma Sooners are trending in a positive direction for one of the best players in the state of Oklahoma, wide receiver Mason James. Oklahoma earned a Rivals Futurecast from national recruiting analyst Sam Spiegelman on Thursday evening. James is a talented four-star prospect in the 2026 recruiting class and is considered the No. 2 player in the state of Oklahoma by 247Sports. On Wednesday, he included Oklahoma in his top 10, along with Florida, Notre Dame, Michigan, Washington, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Kansas State, Missouri, and Arizona State. He had a huge season for Norman North with 56 receptions for 1,233 yards and 17 touchdowns. The first thing that jumps off the screen about James is his route running. The Norman North product does a fantastic job setting up defenders without having to slow down going into his break. That puts defensive backs out of position as he flies down the field. James is an electric playmaker with the speed to run past the secondary in the deep passing game or take a pass in the short passing game the distance for a touchdown. James shows fantastic lateral agility, making defenders miss in the open field. He also does a great job tracking the ball in the air and displays soft hands. James is one of the most dynamic players in the class and would make a huge impact with the Sooners. His route-running ability and speed make him an option to play on the outside or in the slot. He can be a threat in the return game. Just get Mason James the ball and watch him go to work. Projected Position Wide Receiver Height 6-feet Weight 170 pounds Hometown Norman, Okla.
