– TJ Pledger: OU is in hot pursuit of 2018 RB, TJ Pledger (IMG Academy via CA). Pledger was one of the first 2018 running back offers the Sooners extended and have already had a chance to host the talented back one on unofficial visit.
As we mentioned earlier in the week, Pledger confirmed that he will make a return trip to Norman next month (March).
I had a chance to speak with a source close to Pledger and Sooner fans will like what I heard. Source said, “He (Pledger) has some times to Nebraska and is from California so obviously you’ve got UCLA and USC in the mix but he’s leaning strongly towards OU. I think he would say he’s going to OU period but you never can tell for sure until it’s done”.
The source and I spoke about this at length and the quote above that I have provided is probably the most measured quote. The indication was clearly that OU is in the best spot for Pledger.
Although I could not confirm this, it would not surprise me at all if the visit next month is meant to finalize things for Pledger regarding his feelings on OU. – (Super K)
