Top 4 Commitments:
5-Star OLB Caleb Kelly
The last five-star signing of National Signing Day could be a program changer for the Oklahoma Sooners. After a tough recruiting season full of misses on top defensive talent, Kelly's athleticism and explosiveness could make up for all of that.
4-Star DE Amani Bledsoe
Bledsoe is the top ranked recruit for the Sooners, although that would change if they're able to land 5-star LB Caleb Kelly. Bledsoe is the No. 2 player from Kansas. He's the No. 8 strong-side DE and the No. 154 overall player according to 247Sports' composite rankings.
4-Star CB Jordan Parker
Parker has been committed since October, and he's one of the best CBs in the nation. He checks in as the No. 16 overall CB and the No. 24 player from California. He's the No. 158 overall player in the nation. For more on the Oklahoma recruiting class, download the Chat Sports Android and iPhone app.
4-Star QB Austin Kendall
Kendall isn't the top-ranked player for the Sooners, but he is one of the most important. He's the No. 9 pro-style QB recruit and could be the future at QB for OU. He's the No. 188 overall player and the No. 7 player from the state of North Carolina. He's already enrolled at Oklahoma.
