The Oklahoma Sooners just got some great transfer portal news, as they steered away an Oklahoma State player to join the bright side over in Norman, Oklahoma. Now, they are getting bad news.
It’s two years away, so it’s not something to flip out about too much. But, they are losing one of their more talented players for the 2027 season.
Sooners recruit decommits
The Oklahoma Sooners were able to get 2027 edge rusher Zane Rowe to commit, but now he’s decommitting.
At 6-foot-5 and 220 pounds, Zane Rowe’s physicality is matched by his athletic versatility, playing primarily as a defensive lineman but also showcasing his skills as a tight end. His impressive stature and agility have caught the eye of numerous top-tier college football programs.
Rowe’s initial choice was swayed by the genuine care of the coaching staff and the camaraderie found within the Sooners’ ranks. He’s ranked as a four-star recruit, placing him in the top echelons of his class nationwide, as per recruiting platforms like 247Sports.
On the field, Rowe stands out for his explosive starts and ability to penetrate the backfield. One of his best traits has to be his ability to stop the run and get to the quarterback, as showed by his tackles for loss and sack numbers.
Even at a young age, Rowe has attracted interest from powerhouse programs like Georgia and Texas among others, yet he opted for Oklahoma. Now, he is available once again, and teams will be all over him. The good thing is, he is two years away from actually committing, and if the Sooners want to try and get him back, they still have time to try.
