Oklahoma has one of the top recruiting classes in the country and it gets even better on Saturday.

The Sooners have reeled in a commitment from Little Rock (Ark.) Parkview four-star safety Omarion Robinson.

Robinson is the No. 121 overall prospect in the Rivals250 as well as the top ranked prospect in the state of Arkansas.

Oklahoma has long been considered the leader in the clubhouse to eventually land Robinson's commitment. He talked about why he has been so interested in the Sooners throughout his recruitment.

"I have a really good bond with coach (Brandon) Hall because he's been recruit me since the ninth grade. And then the brotherhood that they got at Oklahoma, they're doing something special there and I want to be a part of that and I feel like I can help them win a national championship."

Brandon Hall was not the only member of the staff that Robinson gave credit to for the win. It was a full staff effort to land this commitment.

"Coach (Xavier) Brewer, coach JP (Losman), coach (Brent) Venables, and some of the players too."

The safety position in Norman is one that is pretty strong right now with the presence of Billy Bowman, one of the best defenders in college football. Robinson says he and the staff look to him for what his future can look like.

"Really just like Billy Bowman, but they said they can see me anywhere in the secondary."

It has been no secret really that Oklahoma was the No. 1 school for Robinson for quite some time. There were some competitors down the stretch, but the Little Rock standout knew it was always going to be the Sooners in the end.

"I was trying to commit once before, but they wouldn't take the commitment because I wasn't done visiting other schools, So, I knew it was home then, but I just weighed my options and then after all the visits, Oklahoma came up again. It was a hard decision between them and Oregon, but I knew I was going to Oklahoma."
