The Oklahoma Sooners are still working to shore up their 2026 recruiting class. High on their prospect board are top 100 players defensive end Jake Kreul and wide receiver Davian Groce. But as 2026 enters the final stretch, 2027 has also taken center stage as the Sooners hope to begin building momentum for next year’s top prospects.
2027 four-star defensive tackle Jalen Brewster has caught the eye of the Oklahoma Sooners front office and coaching staff. They’ve been making a significant push for the Cedar Hill prospect and have had him on campus multiple times since issuing an offer to the North Texas prospect last August. He’s already trending to be one of the top players at his position by the time the 2027 cycle finishes, and ESPN’s Billy Tucker considers Brewster the No. 24 high school prospect in the nation regardless of recruiting class.
Possessing violent hands and excellent play strength, Brewster is a power-based pass rusher with the ability to close with surprising quickness for his size. Those are the ingredients of an elite, disruptive interior defensive lineman. Coaches praise his motor, and there’s no shortage of blue bloods vying to land his commitment. – Tucker, ESPN
Jalen Brewster is the No. 1 offensive tackle across the board, and the No. 6 player according to Rivals and the No. 7 player in the class according to 247Sports. Brewster already has 21 Power Four offers and is a five-star prospect in the Rivals database.

The Oklahoma Sooners have done a great job recruiting the defensive tackle position over the last several years, but Brewster could be the highest-rated prospect attracted to Oklahoma by head coach Todd Bates. Rivals currently gives the Sooners an edge in their recruiting prediction machine.
There’s a long way to go in his recruitment, but the Sooners are in a great spot for one of the best players in the 2027 recruiting class.
