Oklahoma Sooners projected to land talented 2026 Defensive Tackle
The Oklahoma Sooners appear to be on the verge of landing their first defensive commitment of the 2026 recruiting class. Brian Harris, a defensive tackle prospect out of Jacksonville, Fla. is set to announce his commitment on May 23. Over a week away from his commitment ceremony, On3 Director of National Recruiting Steve Wiltfong issued an On3 prediction favoring the Oklahoma Sooners in Harris' recruitment. Advertisement Harris is a three-star defensive tackle prospect but is currently listed at 6-foot-4 and 290 pounds. He has offers from a strong group of college programs, including Michigan, Alabama, Ole Miss, Colorado, Auburn, West Virginia, and Penn State. He was previously in Norman for Oklahoma's Future Freaks weekend at the beginning of March and will be in Norman for an official visit on June 6. Back in March he was named the UA Next Orlando MVP for his work at the camp. As a player, Harris has really good size for the defensive line. What jumps off the screen the most is his quickness and the force with which he plays. He's a violent player and blends a physical playing style with really good athleticism for a guy nearly 300 pounds. For Mandarin High, he lined up as a defensive end in three-man fronts a lot, showing off the ability to get around the corner to attack quarterbacks. He does a great job in backside pursuit, displaying a strong motor to get down the line and chase the running back down from behind. He shows a good understanding of playing with angles and using his arm-length to get around offensive linemen. Advertisement Here's what Harris told Rivals' John Garcia back on May 10. "OU has great potential and great consistency when it comes to coaches and communication with me. They see me as a top priority guy on their board and that speaks volumes for me." The Oklahoma Sooners appear to be close to earning a commitment from a talented and underrated prospect in the 2026 class. Brian Harris will be a difference-maker at the collegiate level and could even be a day-one contributor. Highlights Watch Brian Harris' highlights on Hudl.
