Norman, OK – October 5, 2024 – In a surprising turn of events, three-star wide receiver Gracen Harris has officially decommitted from the Oklahoma Sooners’ 2025 recruiting class. The decision, which comes just months after Harris initially committed to the program, has left many fans and analysts questioning what led to this change of heart.
Harris, a standout wide receiver from Ennis, Texas, had originally pledged to the Sooners in early 2023. He had been a key part of Oklahoma’s recruiting efforts, boasting impressive high school numbers and earning recognition as one of the top wideouts in the 2025 class. Known for his playmaking ability and speed, Harris had been a major get for head coach Brent Venables’ staff, adding depth and talent to the wide receiver room for the future.
Reasons Behind Harris’ Decommitment Remain Unclear
While the reasons for Harris’ decommitment remain unclear, sources suggest that it could be linked to personal or recruiting-related factors. The sudden nature of the announcement has prompted speculation about whether other schools played a role in Harris reconsidering his commitment.
The wide receiver had previously chosen Oklahoma over offers from several other prominent programs, including Florida State, TCU, and Baylor. His decision to open up his recruitment could potentially put Oklahoma in a tough position, as they look to rebuild their 2025 class following this loss.
Oklahoma’s Response and Next Steps
Oklahoma’s coaching staff has yet to publicly comment on Harris’ decommitment. However, they will likely shift their focus to securing other wide receiver targets for the 2025 class as the Sooners continue their pursuit of top-tier talent.
While the loss of Harris is a setback, Oklahoma’s 2025 recruiting class still remains strong, with a 5-star quarterback already committed and several other talented prospects lined up for visits. Venables and his staff will now look to continue their momentum in recruiting and explore new options at wide receiver to strengthen the class.
What’s Next for Gracen Harris?
With Harris now back on the recruiting market, expect several schools to intensify their efforts to land him. As one of the top three-star wide receivers in the nation, Harris is likely to receive a surge of new offers, and his recruitment will likely heat up once again. Schools in need of a dynamic playmaker at the wide receiver position will undoubtedly be vying for his services in the coming months.
