BYU loses four-star recruit Bode Sparrow to Oklahoma in 2027 class

Bode Sparrow, a four-star recruit and top athlete from Utah, committed to Oklahoma on June 26, 2026, after being a target for BYU and Utah. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound safety and receiver had narrowed his choices to BYU, Utah, Oregon, and Oklahoma but ultimately chose the Sooners, seeking what he described as a chance to play at the highest level. BYU had made Sparrow its primary recruiting focus, particularly painful given his local ties and the school's connection to his faith. As recruiting continues, attention now turns to receiver Blake Wong, who will announce his decision on June 27.
