Five-star offensive tackles are a highly valued commodity. One team is pursuing one of the nation’s greatest offensive linemen. Texas recruiting source Eric Nahlin believes the Oklahoma Sooners will sign Michael Fasusi. According to On3 Sports’ 2025 recruiting rankings, the Lewisville, Texas native is the nation’s No. 12 player and No. 3 offensive tackle. Fasusi seemed to favor Texas earlier in the cycle, but Oklahoma appears to be winning him over. It would be a significant head-to-head triumph over Oklahoma’s main foe.
The potential addition would address one of the Sooners’ biggest areas of need heading into the SEC. In a league that prides itself on play in the trenches, adding an elite offensive tackle bodes well for maximizing former five-star quarterback Jackson Arnold. Oklahoma has made do with less recognized talents. Offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh’s track record of player development is littered with three-stars and four-stars into NFL players. Even yet, having a player of Fasusi’s reputation would surely bring more upside to the team.
According to On3 Sports, it would be the Sooners’ first five-star offensive line addition since Brey Walker in 2018. Fasusi’s raw tools would offer Bedenbaugh a cornerstone player to build around. Oklahoma will attempt to improve on its No. 15 recruiting class in On3’s 2025 Industry Ranking.
