5-star OL Michael Fasusi commits to Oklahoma

Five-star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi announced his commitment to Oklahoma on Wednesday, according to On3's Chad Simmons.

The 6-foot-6, 295-pound lineman chose the Sooners over finalists Texas and Texas A&M.

"I almost committed on the official visit to Oklahoma," Fasusi said. "That visit to Norman really summed it all up. It wasn't just me, but my family felt it, too. The coaches did more than impress me; they made my family feel comfortable, and we all felt the love."

Fasusi explained that meeting with head coach Brent Venables and offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh weighed heavily in his final decision. The blue-chip prospect is aiming to make an immediate impact when he arrives in Norman ahead of the 2025 season.

"I am ready for the challenge. My goal has always been to go into school and play early," Fasusi said. "It won't be all me. I will work with Coach B, I will have great support, and the people at Oklahoma will help me grow and develop."

The Lewisville, Texas, native is the No. 2-rated player at his position and the No. 9 overall prospect, according to the ESPN 300.

The standout lineman gave his verbal pledge to Oklahoma on the fifth anniversary of his family's move from Nigeria to the United States.

Fasusi becomes the Sooners' highest-ranked commitment in their 2025 recruiting class. Quarterback Kevin Sperry and CJ Nickson are among Oklahoma's 11 ESPN 300 pledges this cycle.
