The Oklahoma Sooners picked up a big win on the recruiting trail with five-star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi committed to the Oklahoma Sooners.
Fasusi is a prospect that [autotag]Bill Bedenbaugh[/autotag] and the Sooners have been actively recruiting for more than two years. He was a top priority in the class, and for the third cycle in a row, the Sooners landed a five-star for the trenches.
Out of Lewisville, Texas, Fasusi joins an offensive line group that includes ascending four-star prospect [autotag]Ryan Fodje[/autotag] and three-star interior offensive linemen [autotag]Owen Hollenbeck[/autotag] and [autotag]Darius Afalava[/autotag]. The commitment gives Oklahoma their 23rd pledge in the [autotag]2025 recruiting class[/autotag] and moved them to No. 8 in the 247Sports team recruiting rankings.
It’s a talented class, but Sooner Nation has been waiting with bated breath for Fasusi’s decision. Landing the five-star prospect puts [autotag]Brent Venables[/autotag] and the Sooners squarely on pace to earn their fourth-consecutive top-10 recruiting class, proving OU to be one of the most consistent recruiting programs in the country.
It was a banner day for Bedenbaugh and head coach Brent Venables as they brought in another cornerstone piece ahead of their debut season in the [autotag]SEC[/autotag]. Michael Fasusi’s decision set social media ablaze with excitement, and here are some of the best reactions to the news.

Recruiting stays on Point
BOOM! Fasusi is a Sooner. There were a lot of doubters amongst other fan bases, but we knew this was the move for him.
BV and staff now have a 5 ⭐️ athlete in all 3 of his classes.
This should ensure 3 straight top 10 recruiting classes. This team will only get better. #OUDNA https://t.co/mk649FFwRz
