Sooners’ Next Target: Oklahoma Zeros In on Ohio State Cornerback Devin Sanchez After Landing Offensive Weapon Tyler Ruxer.
Fresh off securing a commitment from explosive offensive talent Tyler Ruxer, the Oklahoma Sooners are wasting no time in turning their attention to the defensive side of the ball. According to multiple sources, their next high-priority target is none other than Devin Sanchez, the elite five-star cornerback currently committed to Ohio State.
Sanchez, widely regarded as one of the top defensive backs in the 2025 class, has long been on OU’s radar—but now, with momentum building in Norman, the Sooners are making a serious push. Insiders say the coaching staff sees Sanchez as a cornerstone piece for their evolving SEC-ready defense.
“Devin is the kind of shutdown corner that can change a defense,” one source close to OU recruiting said. “He’s got the length, speed, instincts — and now that Ruxer is in, Oklahoma’s got some serious recruiting momentum.”
Landing Sanchez would be a game-changing win for head coach Brent Venables and defensive coordinator Ted Roof, especially as the Sooners continue to position themselves among the SEC’s elite. Though Sanchez remains committed to the Buckeyes for now, whispers of interest in Oklahoma have intensified in recent weeks.
The Sooners’ staff has reportedly emphasized player development, early impact potential, and the opportunity to be a defensive leader in a high-profile program. With visits and conversations ongoing, OU fans are watching closely to see if they can pull off another top-tier flip.
One thing is certain: after locking in a major weapon on offense, Oklahoma has made it clear that Devin Sanchez is next on their hit list.
