National Signing Day has come and gone and while the 2025 class is not finished since there is a late signing period in February as well, most of the action happened last week.

Rivals is breaking down each Top 25 recruiting class and we continue here with No. 17 Oklahoma.

WHAT WENT RIGHT ...

It was a quiet National Signing Day in Norman – for the better. Brent Venables and the Sooners added a quarterback to the fold in the form of three-star QB Jett Nieu, who flipped from rival Oklahoma State.

Oklahoma also staved off late runs from Texas and Texas A&M for five-star OT Michael Fasusi, the No. 12 prospect in the Rivals250. Fasusi sticking is a massive victory and highlights a haul littered with talent along with notable blue-chip additions such as four-star DL Trent Wilson, four-star DB Marcus Wimberly, four-star DE CJ Nickson and four-star RB Tory Blaylock.

WHAT WENT WRONG ...

Oklahoma's Early Signing Period was lessened after four-star WR Cortez Mills flipped to Nebraska and four-star QB Kevin Sperry flipped to Florida State. Mills was a major win on the recruiting trail for ace recruiter Emmett Jones before the playmaker from South Florida inked with the Huskers.

PARTING PREDICTION

Prediction: Fasusi will start from Day 1.

Fasusi has a stellar makeup at a premium position, and as Oklahoma retools this offense under new OC Ben Arbuckle, we anticipate the 6-foot-6, 285-pound Fasusi to be a huge part of rejuvenating the group up front at several potential positions.
