Sooners land first commitment of 2027 recruiting class

Oklahoma Sooners Kick Off 2027 Recruiting Class with Commitment from OL Luke Wilson

The Oklahoma Sooners have officially begun building their 2027 recruiting class.

On Thursday, offensive lineman Luke Wilson announced his commitment to OU via Instagram, becoming the first pledge of the Sooners’ 2027 cycle.

Standing at 6-foot-7 and weighing 285 pounds, Wilson is a towering offensive tackle out of Southlake Carroll High School in Texas. Although it’s still early in the scouting process for the 2027 class, Wilson has yet to receive a rating or ranking from major recruiting outlets heading into his junior year.

Despite being unrated, Wilson has already drawn attention from several programs. His reported offers include Florida State, Arizona State, TCU, UTEP, UTSA, and Wake Forest. He also took an unofficial visit to Florida State on June 18. While his offer sheet isn’t extensive yet, Wilson’s early decision to commit to OU suggests the Sooners made a strong impression—especially noteworthy as head coach Brent Venables enters a critical 2025 season under mounting pressure.

The Sooners have only recently ramped up their efforts in the 2027 recruiting cycle. The NCAA’s contact period for 2027 football recruits began at midnight on June 15, officially opening the door for college coaches to directly call and text rising juniors for the first time.

Despite the recent start, Oklahoma wasted no time making its presence felt. As of the beginning of the contact period, the Sooners had already extended 115 offers to 2027 prospects, per 247Sports. Luke Wilson was among those early targets, receiving his offer from OU just two days prior on June 13.
