Oklahoma is facing a significant decommitment just as a busy week unfolds in Norman. Marcus Harris announced on social media that he plans to withdraw his commitment to the Sooners and their 2025 recruiting class.
The talented pass catcher from Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California, had been committed to Oklahoma since mid-June. Although he previously removed OU from his list of top schools, he surprised many by visiting Norman after the Sooners’ staff maintained communication with him. Following that trip, he committed to the program almost immediately.
Despite a tough season for the Sooners, Harris seemed ready to stick with his commitment. He was also one of the more vocal players on social media, engaging with fellow OU commits following Alabama’s recent upset. However, just days before the early signing period begins on December 4th, Harris has decided to reopen his recruitment.
Oklahoma has fallen to No. 14 in the 247Sports class rankings after losing a commitment, bringing their total to 19 pledges for the cycle.
In the 247Sports Composite Player Rankings, Harris is recognized as the No. 243 recruit in the 2025 class. This four-star athlete ranks as the No. 31 wide receiver in the nation and is a top-25 player in California. According to the 247Sports Network’s own rankings, Harris is classified as a three-star prospect, a top-50 wide receiver nationally, and the No. 31 player in California.
Here’s the scouting report on Harris, provided by national scouting analyst Greg Biggins from 247Sports:
“Harris is among the top pass catchers in the nation, showcasing a well-rounded game. He’s an explosive player capable of getting behind defenses and excels at running after the catch. He’s a reliable pass catcher with strong hands, making him a go-to option on critical third downs. Standing at 6’1″ and 185 pounds, he has impressive body control and makes difficult catches look simple. His hand-eye coordination is exceptional, and he consistently performs well in contested situations against tight coverage. An advanced route runner, he can create separation and easily turn defensive backs around. He can play both outside and in the slot, demonstrating a keen understanding of reading coverages. Although he has faced some injuries in recent years and missed track season after impressing as a freshman with a strong 11.14 100m time, he appears healthy now. While it can be challenging to rack up impressive statistics at Mater Dei due to their deep receiving corps, he seems ready for a breakout season and is projected as a high-level Power 4 prospect, with the talent to compete anywhere.”
