Oklahoma Sooners miss cornerback Brandon Sherrard, commits to Texas
Summary

Brandon Sherrard, a four-star cornerback from Shadow Creek High School, has committed to the Texas Longhorns, choosing them over the Oklahoma Sooners and LSU. Despite this loss, Oklahoma's 2027 recruiting class remains strong, currently ranked No. 3 nationally, with significant talent at cornerback already secured. The Sooners previously added four-star cornerback Gabriel Osborne and others to bolster their secondary. While missing out on Sherrard is notable due to his talent and the rivalry with Texas, Oklahoma maintains a solid recruiting position and depth in the cornerback position moving forward.
