6. Oklahoma Sooners

The Oklahoma Sooners are the lone Big 12 team with a top 10 recruiting class. The return of quarterback Baker Mayfield puts some added pressure on the team to make the College Football Playoff.

The Sooners used this year’s recruiting class to get a lot better on the defensive side of the ball. They welcome three defensive lineman, four linebackers, three cornerbacks and a safety in this year’s class.

Early enrollees Justin Broiles (Oklahoma City) and Levi Draper (Collinsville) look to get an early headstart in the experience department in Norman. Broiles is a 4-star cornerback rated 79th nationally and ninth by position. Draper is a 4-star inside linebacker rated 124th nationally and fourth by position.

Oklahoma will look to replace the running back production of Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon as well. They welcome two running backs in this class, Trey Sermon and Kennedy Brooks. Sermon is an early enrollee ranked 185th nationally and 12th by his position. Brooks ranks 210th nationally and 15th by position.
