The Football Brainiacs

– Velus Jones: 2016 WR and USC commit, Velus Jones (Saraland, Alabama) is scheduled to take an official visit to Oklahoma this weekend. I spoke to a source close to Jones and his coach in Alabama and was told that, “since the coaching change USC has not been in contact with him much…he is definitely looking around.”

I’m told Jones in fact visited Mississippi State last weekend and is scheduled to visit Tennessee after his trip to OU. I’m also told that right now it doesn’t look as though Alabama will offer given the number of wide receiver spots they have and scholarship offers out but a friend I trust speaks very highly Jones and his ability.

The fact that Jones is committed to a school outside of SEC territory tells us that he’s certainly open to playing away from home. Got to believe that playing in an offense like Oklahoma’s will be appealing to Jones. I’d keep my eye on Jones. – (Super K)

– Sci Martin: With the defensive line playing so well last week, I figured it was a good time to reach out to DE Sci Martin (New Orleans, LA). As you’ll recall, Martin and his teammate, defensive tackle, Stephon Taylor visiting Oklahoma last month and really loved the trip.

Martin tells me that Oklahoma is recruiting him very hard right now. He said he’s “feelin OU” and coach Reynolds but hasn’t yet set a commitment date. Martin tells me he still has a couple official visits he’d like to take, to TCU and LSU. You’ll recall Martin holds an LSU offer and was expected to commit on the spot once he was offered but chose not to. Doesn’t sound like anything is going to happen right away but with the Sooners starting to show up at every position group, recruits are noticing. – (Super K)

– Grayson Reed: 2017 offensive tackle, Grayson Reed (Houston, TX) will make his way to Norman for an unofficial visit this weekend. I spoke to Grayson’s father, Terrence and he tells me that while OU has not yet offered, they are expecting an offer shortly. Reed already holds offers from Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Missouri and others. Reeds father tells me that Grayson and coach Bedenbaugh communicate “almost everyday”. – (Super K)

– Trayvon Mullen: 2016 CB Trayvon Mullen (Coconut Creek, FL) tweeted out the following yesterday:

Officials : TCU , CLEMSON , FSU , LSU & haven't decided between Oklahoma Florida and Alabama 🙏🏽😇

The interest in Oklahoma shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. When I’ve spoken to Mullen in the past he has talked about his desire to visit OU. Mullen plays for the Florida Fire 7 on 7 team and all the schools he’s visiting (TCU, Clemson, FSU and LSU) have ties to the coaches of the Florida Fire. Having said that, if the Sooners can win that last visit and the winning on the field continues, Kerry Cooks and this staff can’t be counted out. Oh and by the way, Mullen is nasty… – (Super K)
