A five-star recruit, per Rivals, and the highest rated player in OU’s 2018 class, Radley-Hiles was recruited as a cornerback, but he saw the majority of action a year ago at nickelback (or as a fifth defensive back), which is where he will be used extensively this season as a result of the season-ending training camp injury to junior Tre Norward.
Radley-Hiles was heavily recruited and ended up choosing the Sooners over such major programs as Alabama, Clemson, Florida State, Nebraska and USC. So Oklahoma wasn’t the only program that saw a lot of potential in the talented defensive back.
