Oklahoma Sooners projected to land talented 2026 Defensive Tackle
Over a week away from his commitment ceremony, On3 Director of National Recruiting Steve Wiltfong issued an On3 prediction favoring the Oklahoma Sooners in Harris' recruitment.

Harris is a three-star defensive tackle prospect but is currently listed at 6-foot-4 and 290 pounds. He has offers from a strong group of college programs, including Michigan, Alabama, Ole Miss, Colorado, Auburn, West Virginia, and Penn State.
He was previously in Norman for Oklahoma's Future Freaks weekend at the beginning of March and will be in Norman for an official visit on June 6.
Back in March he was named the UA Next Orlando MVP for his work at the camp.
As a player, Harris has really good size for the defensive line. What jumps off the screen the most is his quickness and the force with which he plays. He's a violent player and blends a physical playing style with really good athleticism for a guy nearly 300 pounds. For Mandarin High, he lined up as a defensive end in three-man fronts a lot, showing off the ability to get around the corner to attack quarterbacks. He does a great job in backside pursuit, displaying a strong motor to get down the line and chase the running back down from behind. He shows a good understanding of playing with angles and using his arm-length to get around offensive linemen.

Here's what Harris told Rivals' John Garcia back on May 10. "OU has great potential and great consistency when it comes to coaches and communication with me. They see me as a top priority guy on their board and that speaks volumes for me."
The Oklahoma Sooners appear to be close to earning a commitment from a talented and underrated prospect in the 2026 class. Brian Harris will be a difference-maker at the collegiate level and could even be a day-one contributor.

Former Oklahoma Sooners quarterback named to NFL's Top 100 players list
Former Oklahoma Sooners superstar quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield is entering his third season as the starting quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After he and the team re-worked his contract to give him $30 million guaranteed next year in 2026, he got more good news on Monday. The OU legend was named to the annual NFL Top 100 Players of 2025 list this week, coming in right in the middle at No. 50. It's Mayfield's second appearance on NFL Network's annual list, as he was the No. 71 player on the 2021 edition of the list, back when he was a member of the Cleveland Browns. Each year, the members of the rankings are chosen by NFL players themselves, and Mayfield made the cut after having the best season of his career. He made his second-straight Pro Bowl in 2024, while passing for 4,500 yards and adding 41 touchdowns through the air. He led the Bucs to another NFC South division title, his second straight and the franchise's fourth in a row. So far, he's the third Tampa Bay player on the list, joining linebacker Lavonte David (No. 96) and defensive lineman Vita Vea (No. 76). Mayfield has found his home with the Buccaneers, posting the best two seasons of his NFL career after being seen as an afterthought by the other 31 franchises in the league. A one-year "prove it" deal with the Bucs turned into a three-year contract, and Mayfield only got better in Year 2 in Tampa. Another big year in 2025 could lead to an even bigger payday and more security down the road for the former No. 1 overall draft pick. Halfway through the NFL's Top 100 list, Mayfield is already the third former Sooner in the rankings. Kansas City Chiefs center Creed Humphrey came in at 93rd, while Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon was ranked 58th.
