The Path to Norman
An Edge player out of Minnesota, Wyatt Gilmore was a priority for the Sooners in the 2024 recruiting class. He was offered by OU in February, 2023 and visited a month later. The visit made a big impression, as did a return visit for the ChampU BBQ that summer. Gilmore’s top five included OU, Minnesota, Miami, Oregon, and Kansas State. Within weeks of his return summer visit, Gilmore narrowed it down to just one.

Highlights
This Season
R Mason Thomas will be the clear leader of the EDGE group and defense as a whole. The Sooners brought in Marvin Jones from the transfer portal and Taylor Wein and PJ Adebawore returns to compete at the spot. Gilmore will likely have one more season providing depth in 2025 before becoming a bigger factor in 2026 and beyond.
