Oklahoma Sooners almost have a visit lined up to try and persuade a recruit who is deeply interested in several blue blood programs originally appeared on A to Z Sports.Just when we all thought the Oklahoma Sooners were done with their 2026 class, they went and got Tank Carrington to flip from Florida State.

So, now are they done?We will have to wait and see what drama they stir up on National Signing Day, but all signs definitely point towards them slowing down with the action pertaining to the 2026 class.

Now, its the 2027 class.

Its early, but they have a lot of work to do, and this will be new general manager Jim Nagys first full recruitment cycle.The Sooners are ready to see what he can do given a full year.

Hes already done some impressive things with the 2026 class, like land Jake Kreul, but hes also not done some things, and thats made the fan base question whether he can do the job or not.But, hes getting out early on one 2027 defensive tackle, and hes letting it be known he wants the kid.View the original article to see embedded media.Sooners to set up visit with 2027 DL George ToiaGeorge Toia is an elite 2027 defensive lineman who recently transferred to Bishop Montgomery High School in Torrance, California, which is one of the best football schools in the country, and certainly one of the most underrated.

Hes 62 and 305 pounds, and combines his size, strength, and speed, yes, even at that size, making him a standout on the defensive line for his class, so much so that several blue blood programs want him.In his 2024 sophomore season, he recorded 27 tackles, nine tackles for loss, three sacks, two forced fumbles, and 10 quarterback hurries in 11 games, showing his ability to disrupt offenses.

And most of that was as a nose tackle, where his job was really to disrupt things and take up space in the run game.Toia is a four-star recruit, ranked No.

2 among defensive linemen and No.

4 in California for the 2027 class by 247Sports, so getting him, considering he isnt really in the Sooners' main pipeline, would be a huge win for Brent Venables and GM Jim Nagy.

He has over 25 scholarship offers from major programs like Michigan State, USC, Oregon, Michigan, Texas, Texas A&M, UCLA, Miami, and Tennessee.

His recruitment is wide open, though, so the Sooners have a legit chance at proving to him that they could be just as good for him, if not better than those other blue bloods.Toia wants to take visits to Oklahoma, Miami, and Oregon this season, and his relationship with position coach Todd Bates could be a big boon for the Sooners.

The Hurricanes and the Ducks could move even higher after a great visit, but Oklahoma will be one to watch.

UCLA will be another to watch since his brother, Jay, had success in Westwood, and USC will be involved as well.
