Oklahoma went into Texas and scored its biggest Class of 2025 recruiting win to date on Wednesday when five-star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi committed to coach Brent Venables and the Sooners.
Fasusi, who is originally from Nigeria but now lives in Lewisville, Texas, announced his decision at a ceremony at his high school.
The 6-foot-5, 295-pounder is the first five-star commit in the Sooners’ class, and he chose Oklahoma over Texas, Texas A&M, Oregon and Missouri. He is ranked No. 12 overall and the No. 3 offensive tackle in the 247Sports Composite.
Should he sign with Oklahoma, Fasusi would become the program’s highest-rated offensive line recruit of the modern era (dating back to 2002). And it couldn’t come at a better time as the Sooners transition into the SEC, where most of the nation’s top defensive linemen play.
Oklahoma’s class jumped three spots to No. 8 nationally with Fasusi’s pledge. He is OU’s 23rd commit and the ninth from Texas. The Sooners are up to 14 blue-chippers and seven top-150 prospects.
Fasusi is the fourth offensive lineman in the class, joining four-star Ryan Fodje (No. 122 nationally) out of Texas, three-star Darius Afalava out of Utah and three-star Owen Hollenbeck, also out of Texas.
