Four-Star Running Back Jonathan Hatton Withdraws from Oklahoma

The Oklahoma Sooners are actively recruiting for the 2025 class, recently offering three-star quarterback Jett Niu, who has previously committed to Oklahoma State but may be flipped back to Oklahoma as predictions shift in their favor. Niu is noted for his accuracy and ability to create plays on the run, making him an attractive target for the Sooners' new offensive coordinator, Ben Arbuckle. Meanwhile, four-star running back Jonathan Hatton Jr. has decommitted from the Sooners for the 2026 class, citing the need to ensure his success and keeping his options open with offers from 19 Power Five programs. Hatton's departure is a setback for Oklahoma's recruiting efforts, as he was their first commitment for 2026, and the Sooners are now under pressure to fill his spot. Despite this loss, Oklahoma still has 18 recruits committed for the 2025 class, and they aim to strengthen their roster following recent coaching changes. The Sooners' ability to adapt their recruiting strategy will be crucial as they navigate the competitive landscape of college football recruiting.
