Incredible:The Oklahoma Sooners recently revealed the addition of an elite player who is regarded as…
Oklahoma decided to hold another junior day event after their first, which had been a success, in late January. The staff of the Sooners made the decision to organize another for the next weekend in February.
It worked out the same way as the first. Oklahoma added a new student to its class of 2025.
Ryan Fodje declared on social media that he would play for the Sooners. He is the group’s tenth commit, its sixth offensive player, and the cycle’s second addition to the offensive line.
Based on the 247Sports Network’s unique rankings, our team of national experts rates Fodje as the best three-star player with an overall grade of 89. He now ranks as the No. 44 player in the state of Texas and the No. 27 offensive tackle in the entire country.
According to the 247Sports Composite Player Rankings, which are produced by the industry, Fodje is ranked 400th overall for the cycle by the recruiting community. Considering that Fodje ranks as the No. 34 offensive tackle in the country and among the top 60 players in the Lone Star State, the 247Sports Network has a higher opinion of his abilities than the composite.
The 275-pound, 6-foot-5 player received an offer from Oklahoma earlier in the summer following an impressive showing at one of OU’s camps. Out of a lengthy offer sheet that included schools like Texas, Texas A&M, Oregon, USC, Arkansas, and others, he selects the Sooners.
Fodje has received early offers from Baylor, Maryland, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. He is a high-ceiling junior, according to national scouting analyst Gabe Brooks, who also assigned Fodje’s initial prospect grade. “Fodje,
who stands slightly taller than teammate Jonte Newman, is probably a long-term tackle prospect who could play on the right side or turn into a reliable cornerback on the left. Although his measurables are still pending, Fodje, who
enters the game with a high three-star 89 rating on 247Sports, shows excellent pass-protection agility. He is undoubtedly a taller, larger-framed prospect with a relatively lean build for a 6-foot-5, 275-pound player. Fodje uses
some sophomore shot put reps to check the multi-sport box. His arm length and wingspan appear to be quite promising, and we anticipate receiving some validated data on them as he may still improve in the rankings.”
In particular, the greater South Central region has an abundance of offensive line talent in the 2025 cycle. Given OU’s emphasis on the position group in this class and the fact that many of these prospects specifically call Texas
home, the Sooners set out to make the most of this class. Fodje becomes the second offensive front-line commit for Oklahoma up to this point in the process, joining Owen Hollenbeck, so this is undoubtedly a step in the right direction.
