How Oklahoma had two big wins over Michigan within days of each other

Then ranked No. 18 in college football, the Oklahoma Sooners picked up a huge win this past weekend over the previously No. 15-ranked Michigan Wolverines. It was a huge, nationally televised contest under the bright lights of Memorial Stadium in Norman, and the Sooners walked away with an impressive 24-13 victory.

They earned a brand-new and shiny ranking heading into Week 3 (Oklahoma is now ranked No. 13 in the country), but the Sooners also picked up a big recruiting win, perhaps thanks to the win over the Wolverines on the field.

Oklahoma beat Michigan on the recruiting trail too

Many recruits were in attendance for the game, but one who decided to pull the trigger in the hours after the win was an elite 2027 wide receiver wideout named Demare Dezeurn. He took in the game as an unofficial visitor, and just a few days later, the four-star from Pacific Palisades, California, committed to Oklahoma. 

Michigan, Miami, Tennessee and UCLA were also in Dezeurn's top five.

Who is speedy four-star WR Demare Dezeurn?

What makes Dezeurn so intriguing as a wideout prospect is his speed. Alongside being a top wide receiver recruit in the country, he's also an elite track-and-field athlete. He has a personal-best 100-meter time of 10.32 seconds, and he checked in third in the state at the California State Track and Field Championships with a 10.39 100-meter.

That's blazing straight-line speed, but Dezeurn can convert that into plays on the gridiron as well. In 2024, he caught 20 passes for 451 yards and five touchdowns while adding three more touchdowns as a kick/punt returner. According to the 247Sports Composite, he's the No. 17 wideout in the 2027 class. He's Oklahoma's second 2027 commitment, joining three-star offensive tackle Luke Wilson.
