The Oklahoma Sooners are already looking ahead, and they’ve made a major move in the 2028 recruiting class by extending an offer to one of the nation’s top young quarterbacks. On Monday, the program reached out to four-star signal-caller Trey Tagliaferri out of New Jersey, adding his name to a growing list of future prospects.

Tagliaferri, ranked as the No. 99 overall player and the No. 11 quarterback in the 2028 cycle by Rivals, is already turning heads with his polished pocket presence. He’s not just a name on the board—he’s a player with serious offers from nine SEC schools, including Alabama, Ole Miss, Auburn, Mississippi State, Texas A&M, and Vanderbilt. That kind of attention speaks volumes about his potential.

What makes Tagliaferri stand out? He’s a classic pocket passer with a knack for throwing to all areas of the field. His deep ball is both powerful and catchable, giving his receivers every chance to make a play. He operates within the offense’s structure, delivering quick, accurate passes that hit his targets in stride—whether it’s a short slant or a bomb down the sideline. While he’s not a frequent runner, he has the athleticism to escape pressure and keeps his eyes downfield, always looking to make a play through the air.

The Sooners’ quarterback room is already in solid shape for the near future. John Mateer is set to lead the offense in 2026, with Bowe Bentley, Whitt Newbauer, Jett Niu, and Jamison Roberts forming a strong core for 2027. But adding a talent like Tagliaferri would be a game-changer for the program’s long-term depth. Over the next year and a half, expect his name to be one to watch as Oklahoma continues to build for the future.
