Oklahoma turned continued on-field success into its first Big 12 recruiting crown since the 2017 cycle by signing the only national top-10 class inked a by Big 12 program.
1. Oklahoma
Topping the list: QB Caleb Williams, ATH Billy Bowman, WR Mario Williams
Overview: Regularly competing for, and winning, conference titles carries with it recruiting advantages. The Sooners took advantage of those perks in the 2021 class, crushing the Big 12 competition and raiding Texas of some of its best prospects in the process. Three of the five highest-rated players in the class are Texans, including former Texas commit Billy Bowman Jr. Oklahoma will be the only Big 12 program to sign a top-10 class in 2021.
Take a look as we breakdown some of the top takeaways from the #Run21 class.
1. Jayhawks Sign 20 Incoming Freshmen
Much like the 2020 signing class, Kansas’ #Run21 class is comprised of all incoming freshmen, showing the commitment to bringing in and developing talented football players.
A season ago, 21 true scholarship freshmen played in at least one game with 11 true freshmen making at least one start on the season.
Coach Les Miles and his staff have made a focus on recruiting high school talent and look forward to developing them to make an impact.

What to know: A 247 Sports composite three-star recruit…Coached by John Hart…Led team to 8-2 record in 2020 and a No. 5 ranking in the state of Indiana by MaxPreps…Threw for 1,842 yards and 13 touchdowns as a senior…Had his best game of the year against Zionsville, where he completed 20 of 27 passes for 338 yards and five touchdowns to no interceptions…Threw for 1,816 yards and 23 touchdowns to just four interceptions as a junior at Brownsburg. I committed to KU because they have a phenomenal coaching staff. You can expect [from me] big, explosive plays, one of the hardest workers to come in right away and setting the tone.
