The Oklahoma Sooners‘ first big recruiting weekend of the spring is off to an incredible start, earning a commitment from four-star quarterback Jamison Roberts on Saturday. The Sooners have long been the favorite for Roberts, and now their quarterback is in the class. But that’s not where the momentum stops. The Sooners have become the favorite to land the No. 1 tight end in the cycle, Seneca Driver.
Driver is in town for Oklahoma’s Future Freaks weekend, and it looks like they’ve moved the needle in a big way in the four-star tight end’s recruitment.
Steve Wiltfong, vice president of recruiting and transfer portal for Rivals, issued a prediction favoring the Sooners to land Driver. Oklahoma offered the Danville, Kentucky, product back in August, and since the hire of new tight ends coach Jason Witten, the Sooners have picked up a lot of momentum.
Driver ranks as the No. 18 player in the class, according to Rivals, and is the No. 62 overall player in 247Sports rankings. He has Power Four 29 offers at this point in his recruitment, with 11 of those coming from SEC schools, including Texas, Tennessee, Texas A&M, and Alabama.
Driver’s an incredible athlete and shows the toughness that you need to be successful in the SEC. He wins with speed and displays strong route running. He’s got strong hands and is able to go above the rim to make catches over the top of defenders.
There’s still a long way to go in this recruitment, and the Sooners will have to battle with some of the best recruiting schools in the country to land a commitment from Driver. But they’ve put themselves in a strong position to land one of the best players in the 2027 recruiting class.
