Sooners Lose Top Corner Recruit to Rival Texas
3 Jul
Summary
- Oklahoma lost four-star cornerback Brandon Sherrard to Texas.
- Sherrard committed to the Longhorns over LSU and Oklahoma.
- The Sooners' 2027 class is strong despite this loss.
Oklahoma's 2027 recruiting class has seen a notable departure as four-star cornerback Brandon Sherrard committed to the Texas Longhorns. Sherrard, a 6'3" prospect from Pearland, Texas, selected Texas over LSU and Oklahoma, placing the Sooners third in his recruitment.
Sherrard's commitment to Texas is a significant development, particularly given the Sooners' existing depth at cornerback. Oklahoma has already secured commitments from highly-touted players like four-star cornerback Gabriel Osborne and four-star cornerback Mikhail McCreary, alongside other defensive back prospects.
This loss does not significantly impact Oklahoma's overall recruiting standing, which is currently ranked third nationally. However, Sherrard's decision to join a major rival like Texas does add a sting, as he represents a talent who could potentially face the Sooners in future matchups, including the Red River Rivalry.
