The Oklahoma Sooners have a pair of gems in their 2027 recruiting class. And the two players committed on the same day. Cooper Hackett and Kaeden Penny committed to the Sooners early in the fall, and in the latest Rivals rankings update, both are considered top-five offensive tackles in the 2027 class.
And both players hail from the state of Oklahoma.

Hackett, out of Fort Gibson, came in at No. 6 overall in Rivals’ latest update and ranks as the No. 2 offensive tackle in the class. Penny, from Edmond, ranks No. 20 overall and is the No. 4 offensive tackle in the class.
The pair are the headliners in a class that has 13 players committed and ranks No. 3 in Rivals team recruiting rankings but No. 1 in the Rivals Industry team rankings.
In addition to Hackett and Penny and the No. 86 prospect in the class, Keldrid Ben, the Sooners are in the mix for several other top-100 prospects like cornerback Gabriel Osborne, linebacker Cooper Witten, Bode Sparrow, edge rusher Prince Goldsby, and cornerback Juju Johnson.

Oklahoma has made a significant investment in offensive line recruiting in recent years. They landed top 10 offensive tackles Michael Fasusi and Ryan Fodje in the 2025 class. In 2026, offensive lineman Deacon Schmidt was a big win for Bill Bedenbaugh. In the 2027 cycle, the Sooners look to have their cornerstone offensive linemen of the future in Hackett and Penny.
