The Oklahoma Sooners are absolutely on fire in the recruiting world, and the message from their top 2027 commit is loud and clear: they're coming for the best. With the 2027 class shaping up to be a potential powerhouse, the Sooners are aggressively expanding their lead over programs like USC, Texas Tech, and Texas A&M. And leading the charge is none other than five-star commit Cooper Hackett, who isn't shy about letting the rest of the country know what's coming.
"I know we're focused on Bode Sparrow; I know we all want Gabe Osborne," Hackett recently shared with Sooner Scoop. "They're the top two. I really want to get Gabe up here. He's a guy not too far from me, and we both have that basketball relationship. I think it's pretty cool. But I really want to get Gabe up here with him being in-state."
That's a powerful statement from the crown jewel of Oklahoma's 2027 class, and it highlights two names you'll want to remember. First up is Gabriel Osborne, the No. 11 cornerback in the nation and the No. 3 player in Oklahoma. A standout dual-sport athlete at Mustang High School, Osborne also shines on the basketball court—a connection that Hackett clearly values. Rivals currently projects Oklahoma to land him, but the competition is stiff with Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, and Ohio State all in the mix. Don't be surprised if Osborne makes the leap to five-star status before he steps foot on a college campus.
Then there's Bode Sparrow, a top-100 national prospect who brings versatility at both safety and wide receiver. At 6'2" and 200 pounds, Sparrow has the size and skill set that SEC teams crave, and he's being recruited primarily as a safety. Currently rated a four-star, he has all the tools to earn that fifth star by the time he graduates. The Sooners are making him a top priority, and with Hackett leading the recruiting charge, the momentum is undeniable.
Of course, Oklahoma's 2027 ambitions don't stop there. Four-star linebacker Case Alexander and four-star tight end Ben Kolar—who plays right in the Sooners' backyard at Norman North—are also high on the wish list. With Hackett's bold message echoing across the country, it's clear that Oklahoma isn't just building a class; they're building a statement. For fans and gear-heads alike, this is the kind of recruiting energy that fills stadiums and sells jerseys.
