Will Jordan Hudson decommit prompt WR recruiting push?
Four-star wide receiver Jordan Hudson decommitted from Oklahoma on Monday. His departure drops OU from the No. 6 class (189.58) to the No. 11 class (171.19), according to Hayes Fawcett via Twitter. The Sooners will no longer get the services of the 114th player in the 2022 recruiting class. Oklahoma is loaded with talent at receiver with young players Marvin Mims, Mario Williams, Cody Jackson, Jalil Farooq, Mike Woods, Luther Burden, and Talyn Shettron among others. The Crimson and Cream are not lacking talent but with Hudson pulling out, Lincoln Riley may set his eyes on another young promising star to elevate the position in Norman. Pushing for a five-star WR would make a splash in recruiting. One such player is Evan Stewart. The 60, 175-pound Frisco native decommitted from Texas and is once again up for grabs. According to his 247Sports Composite, he is regarded as the No. 4 receiver and No. 10 in the state of Texas. Stewart is a heavily sought-after commodity but a playmaker that Riley should go after. His vertical explosiveness, run-after-catch, and route-running fluidity would boost Oklahomas passing game. Of his offers, Florida, USC, Alabama, Georgia, LSU, and Texas A&M are listed under the warm category of considerations on his 247 profile. OU did place an offer on the table and an aggressive recruiting push for his services would benefit the offense in the future. As one of the most explosive offenses in college football under Rileys innovation, Stewart would be primed for a grand stage at the collegiate level with a top-tier quarterback under center and a solid path to the NFL.
