Oklahoma Sooners offer USC 4-star offensive tackle commit
The Oklahoma Sooners have the majority of their 2026 recruiting class committed at this point in the cycle. A couple of key names to watch are four-star wide receiver Davian Groce and four-star defensive end Jake Kreul. But as July turned to August, the Sooners offered another big-time target in the 2026 cycle in four-star offensive tackle Vlad Dyakonov, according to a post he made on X (formerly known as Twitter). Dyakonov, out of Folsom, Calif., is currently committed to Lincoln Riley and the USC Trojans. But Oklahoma issued an offer on August 1 in an attempt to sway a big-time tackle prospect to leave the state of California. He holds 23 Power Four offers and has been committed to USC since April. He's a four-star prospect across the board and ranks as high as No. 12 at offensive tackle according to the Rivals Industry rankings. Rivals also considers Dyakonov the No. 12 player in California and the No. 101 player in the nation. When you flip on the highlights, it's easy to see why. To say that Dyakonov is a physical presence is an understatement. His play strength jumps off the screen, and combined with his ability to move in space, he's a force in the run game. In pass protection, once he latches on to a defender, they're pretty much done. Dyakonov displays excellent footwork for a guy his size, showing off good lateral agility. He's one of those players that every coach will love because he plays with a physical demeanor and goes through the whistle. Dyakonov has experience at both left and right tackle and has the size and athleticism to be a star at tackle at the collegiate level. Though the Oklahoma Sooners offered Dyakonov fairly late in the cycle, he's a player who's worth the pursuit. However, it may be difficult to pull the USC commit out of California. Currently, Oklahoma has just two offensive linemen committed in the 2026 cycle, four-star prospects Deacon Schmitt and Noah Best.
