Oklahoma Sooners among top eight for elite 2028 recruit Jordan Hicks
Summary

The Oklahoma Sooners are in the top eight for four-star safety Jordan Hicks from Mission Viejo, California, who recently narrowed his list to eight schools. USC and UCLA are currently the frontrunners in Hicks’ recruitment, with Rivals giving Oklahoma less than a 1% chance. Hicks has only visited Oklahoma once, compared to multiple visits to USC and UCLA. Despite these challenges, Oklahoma’s successful recruitment from California in recent years keeps their hopes alive. If Oklahoma secures a visit from Hicks, it may open up competition in his recruitment.
