Oklahoma Sooners earn commitment from elite in-state cornerback

· Yahoo Sports

The Oklahoma Sooners earned a second commitment in the 2027 recruiting class in as many days. On Sunday, running back Jacoby Dixon pledged to the Sooners. On Monday, the Sooners earned the long-awaited commitment from elite cornerback and in-state star Gabriel Osborne.

Osborne is the No. 29 player in the 2027 cycle, according to Rivals, and the No. 25 overall player in the class, according to 247Sports. He's a top-three cornerback in the class and has an elite set of programs trying to pull him out of state. Osborne chose the Sooners over offers from Ohio State, Miami, Alabama, Texas, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Michigan, and a number of other Power Four programs.

The Mustang native has great size at 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds. He'll be disruptive on the boundary in Brent Venables' defense, using his length to make it difficult for quarterbacks to throw over the top. Osborne is physical in run support, displaying great recognition and explosiveness to get downhill and attack in run defense. He plays fast and is a good athlete. Osborne displays excellent ball skills to disrupt the catch point or make a play on the football.

Osborne's commitment is another huge feather in the cap of Venables and general manager Jim Nagy. Oklahoma has earned pledges from the top three players in the state, with Cooper Hackett, Kaeden Penny, and now Osborne committed. Osborne is one of six top 100 players the Sooners have added in the 2027 recruiting class, which is No. 2 in the nation with seven months to go until the early signing period.
