Top Recruiting Classes after National Signing Day

9. Oklahoma Sooners

The Oklahoma Sooners didn’t close out on too many targets in the country but they still managed to have a reasonable National Signing Day. The Sooners signed 18 players ranked in the 247Sports Top 300 to pull in a top 10 recruiting class for 2017.

Head coach Bob Stoops didn’t waste any time reloading at the wide receiver and running back position. With the departures of DeDe Westbrook, Joe Mixon and Samaje Perine, the Sooners earned the pledges of wide receiver Marquise Brown and running back Trey Sermon. It gives Oklahoma some added firepower to reload at the positions that made them successful in the Big 12 in 2016.

Brown is a 5-foot-11, 170 pound speedster out of California who enrolled in January. He ranks 14th nationally, third by position and third best player in the state of Florida, according to 247 Sports. He looks to replace prolific playmaker DeDe Westbrook at the receiver position.

Sermon adds another dimension as well. At 6-foot-1, 215 pounds, he ranks 185 overall in the nation, 12th at his position and 19th-best player in the state of Georgia, according to 247 Sports. With both Sermon and Sutton as early enrollees, the Sooners have shown they are ready to get better now, despite the departure of Mixon and Perine.

Look for the 2017 recruiting class to make waves for Oklahoma after a good National Signing Day overall.
