What had already been a big Saturday for Oklahoma football recruiting became even more so when 4-star athlete Ryan Jones pledged his commitment to play for the Sooners. A prospect of Charlotte (N.C.)

The pair make a total of 27 verbal commitments in Oklahoma’s 2017 class that is expected to sign on Wednesday. Eighteen of the twenty-seven commitments are ranked as a 4-star or better prospect according to Rivals.
