The Oklahoma Sooners are off to a strong start in the 2025 recruiting cycle, securing commitments from nine players so far. While much emphasis has been placed on bolstering the offensive lineup, the team has successfully attracted defensive talent, including prospects like Ka’Mori Moore and Alexander Shieldknight for the defensive line, along with Marcus James, a versatile athlete expected to play as an outside linebacker.

In their pursuit of defensive excellence, the Sooners are now targeting four-star cornerback Cobey Sellers, who is emerging as a key player in the 2025 recruiting class. Sellers, ranked within the top 150 players overall by 247Sports and On3, holds a consistent position within the top 30 players in his position category.

Standing at an impressive 6-0 and weighing 170 pounds, Sellers already possesses good size and showcases his skills on the field. As a sticky-man corner, he excels in defending at the catch point and contributes actively in run support. His athleticism allows him to perform well in both man and zone coverages, demonstrating an ability to make impactful plays on the ball in the air.

Sellers, who also handled punt returns and played quarterback during his senior season at Shadow Creek, is anticipated to be a notable player in the spotlight as the 2025 recruiting class unfolds. Cornerbacks coach Jay Valai has been effective in shaping the team’s depth chart, and adding Sellers would further strengthen their defensive lineup.

With an impressive offer sheet that includes notable schools such as Georgia, Oregon, Washington, Texas, Texas A&M, LSU, and Penn State, Sellers is in high demand. Projections from recruiting analysts, including Parker Thune of OUInsider and Rivals, favor Sellers joining the Sooners. On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine also leans towards the Oklahoma Sooners, positioning them ahead of Texas and Baylor. As of now, there are no Crystal Ball predictions from 247Sports.
