Elijah Thomas, the highest-ranked receiver in the class, hails from Checotah, Oklahoma. Thomas, the No. 136 overall recruit according to the 247Sports Composite, is a top-five athlete nationally and the top player in Oklahoma. His presence further elevates the Sooners’ receiving corps.

Marcus Harris, another recent addition, turned his official visit to Oklahoma into a swift commitment. Harris, ranked No. 164 overall by the 247Sports Composite, is a four-star recruit and the No. 17 wide receiver nationally. His decision to join the Sooners underscores the program’s appeal to top talent across the country.

Gracen Harris, the longest-tenured commit, pledged his allegiance to Oklahoma in May 2023. Harris, a three-star recruit, is ranked No. 436 overall by the 247Sports Composite. His early commitment set the foundation for the impressive class assembled by Jones.

Rounding out the group is Emmanuel Choice, a 6-foot-4, 200-pound receiver who brings size and physicality to the table. Choice, ranked No. 411 overall by the 247Sports Composite, adds a unique dimension to the Sooners’ receiving unit.

Collectively, these five recruits span four different states and three time zones. With three four-star and two three-star prospects, Oklahoma’s 2025 receiver class is a testament to Jones’ recruiting acumen. His ability to attract and develop top-tier talent continues to propel the Sooners towards sustained success on the national stage.
