The Oklahoma Sooners are having success when it comes to their 2022 recruiting class. Now with 12 recruits committed, the Sooners have climbed back to No. 6 in the national rankings ahead of the Texas Longhorns, Georgia Bulldogs, and the Oregon Ducks. They are within striking distance of the LSU Tigers for No. 5 overall. Separated by less than 0.6 points.
OU has had plenty of success over the years on the recruiting trail, spending a vast majority of its time in the state of Texas. More recently, head coach Lincoln Riley has found success bringing in the top offensive talent for his system that is churning out NFL talent. Four of the top eight offensive recruits at Oklahoma since 2000 have come in the last four years with Riley as head coach.
