Sooners Lock Down Top In-State Cornerback

Oklahoma’s recruiting machine just hit another home run, landing four-star cornerback Gabriel Osborne Jr. from nearby Mustang High — the fourth in-state commit for their elite 2027 class. With top local talent like offensive tackles Kaeden Penny and Cooper Hackett, and WR Greydon Howell already locked in, OU now boasts three top-50 national prospects in one class — a first in school history. That’s why 247Sports ranks them No. 1 overall. While rivals like Oklahoma State struggle to land top-15 in-state recruits, OU’s early love and strong local connection won Osborne over, despite big offers from Alabama, Florida State, LSU, and Ohio State. A dynamic two-way threat with elite speed and instincts, Osborne is a cornerstone of what’s shaping up to be the nation’s best recruiting class — all while staying right in his backyard.
