Ojo (6-foot-7, 275 pounds) plays for Lake Ridge High School in Mansfield, Texas. He is rated as the No. 3 offensive tackle, the No. 1 player in the state, and the No. 6 overall recruit (On3Â industry).
Ojo, who holds an On3 NIL valuation of $758,000, announced in February his top eight schools: Oklahoma, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Ole Miss, Ohio State, Michigan and Notre Dame.
Ojo loaded his summer with visits, also including trips outside of his top schools.
Notre Dame unofficially hosted Ojo on April 10 before he took official trips to Ole Miss (April 18), Texas Tech (April 25), Colorado (May 2), Florida (May 16) and Ohio State (May 30).

Additionally, Michigan received an official visit on June 6 with Texas (June 13) and Oklahoma (June 20) slated to cap off Ojo’s summer schedule.

However, head coach Brent Venables and the Sooners are no longer expected to host Ojo after a key announcement on Monday. The Oklahoma visit has been cancelled, as Ojo revealed that his decision is approaching sooner than previously expected.
“Not needed,” Ojo said via On3’s Hayes Fawcett. “Nearing my decision a lot sooner than later.”
It’s unclear if Ojo’s decision has closed the door for Oklahoma in his recruitment, but the Sooners would have likely benefited from getting the highly coveted recruit on campus.

Texas stands, for now, as the last program to get an official visit from Ojo this summer.
Head coach Steve Sarkisian’s Longhorns signed the nation’s top class in the 2025 cycle and have been linked to the in-state recruit for some time.
Ojo previously named the SEC powerhouse as his leader in May, and he is projected to ultimately land at Texas, according to recruiting experts from On3, 247Sports and Rivals.
