Sooners trending for elite safety Omarion Robinson with commitment day looming

[BillySims]

The safety position has grown so much in just a few years since Brent Venables took the reins of the Oklahoma football program. They landed a five-star safety for the first time in a decade or more when they locked down Peyton Bowen. Billy Bowman is already a bonafide star at the position, and if you asked anyone to rank the five best players on the Oklahoma roster, he would be named every time. That brings us to the future of the position in Norman. Bowen’s future is still bright, but Billy Bowman is a senior and will depart Norman for the NFL following this season. Former four-star prospect Robert Spears-Jennings will have a lot more responsibility this coming season. The 2024 recruiting class brought in a group of talented blue-chip safeties in Michael Boganowski, Jaydan Hardy, Mykel Patterson-McDonald, and Reggie Powers. The 2025 recruiting class currently has three-star safety out of Arkansas, Marcus Wimberly. Could it bring another safety from the Natural State? 247Sports composite four-star safety Omarion Robinson is set to announce his decision on July 6, and Oklahoma is duking it out with Arkansas, LSU, and Oregon for his services. Robinson is a hyper-competitive defender who can disrupt the passing game. He plays great coverage and has the athletic range to be a ballhawk in the middle of the field. His footwork is top-notch, and he’s unafraid of coming downhill to make run fits. He recently won defensive back MVP at the Rivals 5-star challenge. #FiveStar @Rivals pic.twitter.com/32MduqfUwP — Omarion Robinson (@liilmanman2_) June 30, 2024   Oklahoma has been steady in this race for some time, and after June’s official visits, the time for a commitment is nearing. On Sunday afternoon, Chad Simmons of On3 predicted Robinson to land with the Sooners. New #Sooners On3 Prediction 2025 S Omarion Robinson

Safeties coach Brandon Hall is no stranger to closing out recruitments. It would be foolish to write off his ability to close on another bonafide blue-chip prospect. With less than a week to his commitment, the Sooners are in a prime spot to continue adding to their already sixth-ranked 2025 recruiting class.
