T.J. Pledger has committed to the Oklahoma Sooners, giving the squad one of the top running backs in the 2018 class.

Steve Wiltfong of 247Sports reported Pledger's decision Saturday.

The 4-star recruit is the third-best running back in the country and No. 20 overall at any position, according to Scout.

Pledger's physical numbers don't jump out. Scout lists him at 5'8", 200 pounds, making him a bit undersized for the position. Per ESPN.com, his 40-yard-dash time is a relatively slow 4.61 seconds.

However, the California native makes up for his limitations with great quickness in small areas and instincts on the field.
