Sunday Offering: Oklahoma Offers 2026 RB, Bowe Bentley Receives Elite 11 Invite

Oklahoma made plenty of efforts to bolster its 2026 recruiting class this week.

The Sooners picked up a commitment from defensive lineman prospect Brian Harris of Florida and also made moves toward other prospects in the class.

Here’s the latest in OU football recruiting:

Win some, lose some

Two days after missing out on a 2026 defensive prospect, the Sooners picked one up.

Harris’ commitment came on Friday and lessened the blow after linebacker Mason Marden chose Arizona State over Oklahoma on Wednesday.

Harris is rated as a 4-star prospect by Rivals, while 247Sports, On3 and ESPN have him graded as a 3-star. As a junior at Mandarin High School in Jacksonville in 2024, he recorded 29 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 10 games. He was named the Defensive Line MVP at the 2025 Under Armour Next Camp, hosted in Orlando on Feb. 23.

He chose the Sooners over his other finalists: Alabama, Penn State, Michigan and South Carolina.

Marden would’ve been a big addition, too.
