After three straight top-10 classes, Texas slipped back into the teens and lost the Big 12 football recruiting crown to Oklahoma this year. Most of the work on these classes was done in December. No Big 12 class finished in the top 10 nationally for the first time since 2014.
Here's how the conference schools' classes rank:
1. Oklahoma
Players: 16
Top prospects: QB Caleb Williams, ATH Billy Bowman, WR Mario Williams
The Sooners stood pat after the early signing period. Oklahoma didn’t add a single high school recruit to its class this spring, opting instead for the transfer market.
