The Oklahoma Sooners picked up their first big win in the 2028 recruiting class, earning a commitment from 247Sports No. 1 running back in the cycle, Micah Rhodes.
Out of Klein, Texas, Rhodes holds 23 Power Four offers and chose the Sooners over the Texas Longhorns and the Texas A&M Aggies.
Rhodes is a dynamic running back who displays fantastic contact balance. He has the speed to win to the outside, the ability to run between the tackles and stay on his feet after contact, and the agility to make defenders miss in the open field. He’s a polished blocker in pass protection and has the hands to catch the ball out of the backfield.
This is a huge win for Oklahoma to kickstart the 2028 recruiting class. The Sooners currently have the No. 1-ranked recruiting class in 2027, according to 247Sports, and look to be in great shape down the road after a successful 2025 campaign.
