Observations from Oklahoma Brent Venables Football Camp Session III

Oklahoma hosted its third Brent Venables Football Camp of the 2025 summer on Thursday.

High school players from across the country traveled to Norman to participate in drills and training alongside the Sooners’ coaches.

Here are notes from Thursday’s camp:

Highly ranked cornerback attends clinic

Jerry Outhouse Jr., a Class of 2027 cornerback, participated at Thursday’s clinic.

Outhouse earned an offer from Oklahoma on May 16, and he is a consensus 4-star prospect. Per 247Sports, Outhouse is the No. 56 overall player and No. 9 cornerback in the 2027 class.

Outhouse is from Fort Worth and plays at North Crowley High School. As a sophomore in 2024, Outhouse registered 44 tackles, five interceptions, three tackles for loss and one fumble recovery.

He has collected dozens of offers thus far, including Nebraska, Miami, Texas A&M and Tennessee. Outhouse took an unofficial visit to Texas on Tuesday, and he earned an offer from the Longhorns in Austin.

4-star offensive lineman competes

Albert Simien hasn’t yet received an offer from OU, but the 4-star lineman came to Norman on Thursday anyway.

Per 247Sports, Smith has received offers from Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Devin Smith thus far. As a 2029 prospect, Smith has yet to play a down of high school football, but the 6-3, 300-pound lineman did enough at Thursday’s camp to earn an offer.

Next camp

Oklahoma will host its final Brent Venables Football Camp of the summer on Friday.

The Sooners are expected to have 2026 quarterback commit Jaden O’Neal in attendance, according to Parker Thune of Rivals, and a handful of other key targets in that class — as well as future classes — will likely participate at the clinic.

Oklahoma currently has 10 players from the Class of 2026 committed. Cornerback Derrick Johnson II and offensive lineman Noah Best verbally committed to OU earlier in the week.
