Deontre Thomas: 2017 OK Preps DT Deontre Thomas (Mustang, OK) has picked up a number of offers recently, including one earlier this week from Arkansas. Thomas is an extremely athletic and quick defensive tackle prospect who the Sooners have been monitoring for a while.

To that point, Thomas let TFB know this morning that the Sooners have reached out and invited him to visit. And Thomas is wasting no time in making said visit as he plans to be in Norman later today. – (Super K)

Hunter Rison: As we mentioned a few weeks back, 2017 WR & OU offer Hunter Rison (Ann Arbor, MI) plans on visiting Oklahoma this spring. You’ll also recall that Hunter is the son of former NFL wide receiver, Andre Rison.

Hunter Rison’s mother let TFB know they have booked their tickets for their OU visit and are set to be in Norman April 5th – 7th.

In talking to various sources, it sounds like there is reason to feel like a commitment on the trip, or shortly thereafter, is at least possible. You may remember a couple weeks back Rison telling TFB that OU is “easily one of my top schools.” And the impression we’ve been given since that conversation took place is that OU may in fact be the top school for Rison, who is also planning to graduate early and enroll in college next January. – (Super K)

UPDATE (4:55 pm): Sooners will host a very highly coveted and talented 2017 DE/TE later this month.
