3. Grant Brix is starting to feel like he's heading to Oklahoma.
Gorney’s take: FICTION. Oklahoma can absolutely land
Grant Brix and I wouldn’t be surprised one bit, but it seems whichever program gets the last visit here could end up getting the four-star offensive lineman.
Distance could be part of the situation here with
Nebraska only 90 minutes away and the Huskers’ coaching staff rolling out the red carpet each time he visits. But Brix keeps getting pulled back to Oklahoma and loving it there. The four-star will probably take a visit to
Kansas State but this really feels like a two-team race.
Because it’s still a two-team race and Brix cannot make up his mind being torn between the Sooners and Huskers, I can still see this one going either way.
Drumm’s take: FACT. Brix’s recruitment has been very back and forth since June and in that sense not much has changed, though, I would argue Nebraska went from a shoe-in to now trailing Oklahoma at this juncture.
Oklahoma once again made a huge impression on Brix and his family (father visited with him this past weekend). Commits like four-star DB
Michael Boganowski and four-star QB
Michael Hawkins led the charge for the Sooners. That said, the location of Norman – being in OKC metro and seven hours away from Brix’s hometown – has been the Sooners’ biggest deterrent so far. Same with Kansas State, which is likely hosting Brix soon as well.
On the flip side, location has been the biggest help for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Still, I have a FutureCast for Oklahoma when it comes to Brix, and I continue to feel that’s where he will eventually end up if they can convince others in his family the distance isn’t that big of a deal. And outside of that, OU has what the four-star OL is looking for in a program, with his affinity for how
Bill Bedenbaugh develops OL only growing stronger since Brix first visited OU last spring.
Again, it’s far from over but it seems the Sooners have continued to weather the blows Nebraska and Kansas State have thrown their way up to this point.
Can the Aggies hold on to the four-star receiver's commitment despite the uncertainty surrounding the program?
