Today is a historic day for the University of Oklahoma. The Sooners are officially members of the SEC and left the Big 12 after years of dominating the conference.
Monday is a day of jubilation in Norman, with a flurry of activities and events planned to celebrate the historic move to the nation’s premier conference. The addition of a four-star wide receiver Cortez Mills only adds to the excitement for the Sooners.
Mills, an excellent Florida neighbor, chose the Sooners over offers from Clemson, Nebraska, LSUIt is Florida. Oklahoma hosted Mills on an official visit in the spring, and he made it clear how much of a fan he was of what the Sooners were doing.
Emmet Jones built a strong relationship with Mills, and the other 2025 wide receivers for OU also helped contribute. In short, Oklahoma stole Mills from Clemson’s hands, and the Sooners effectively shut down. Clemson entered the summer as the presumptive favorite, and Oklahoma prepared to overtake the lead.
After his official visit, the rumors surrounding Oklahoma grew louder, and eventually the Sooners and Jones earned his commitment.
With Mills on board, the Sooners bring in a player ranked 196th in 247Sports and 88th overall in 247’s Composite. He is a consensus four-star prospect across all primary recruiting services.
Mills wins with great speed and athleticism, allowing him to turn 50/50 balls into 70/30 balls. He will be an excellent addition to the Sooners and should thrive winning on the outside in this offense.
Brent Venables’ team now has 20 commits for the class of 2025, moving Texas A&M and the Oregon ducks possess the fifth-ranked recruiting class in the 247Sports team recruiting rankings.
