Oklahoma Sooners Football: 2023 QB Malachi Nelson sets announces decision date

Happy Monday, friends and fans!

The Oklahoma Sooners have unsurprisingly made the cut for 2023 five-star QB prospect Malachi Nelson, who recently announced the top seven schools he’ll be choosing from live on CBSSports HQ on Sunday, July 18.

According to recruiting experts over at 247 Sports and elsewhere, OU is currently slated as the favorite to land the pledge of the 6’3” signal caller out of Los Alamitos, California. If Nelson chooses the Sooners, he will officially be the first commit for Oklahoma’s 2023 class.

Recently, Lincoln Riley and his staff have seen a boom on the recruiting trail, picking up six verbal commitments for the class of 2022 in the last three weeks.
