Oklahoma and Todd Bates have been a match made in heaven on the recruiting path. Final 12 months’s defensive position haul was lauded publicly by many media pundits for its depth, versatility, upside, and star energy.
The category of 2025 might not be almost as deep nationwide, however there’s nonetheless assist to be discovered within the nooks and crannies of the recruiting world.
Oklahoma provided a seemingly unknown commodity in Makhi Williams-Lee, and by all accounts, he could also be a late bloomer and somebody who may go underneath the radar and find yourself being a steal down the highway.
He’s not ranked on any website, however it’s clear Bates sees one thing there to supply him.
He’s a 6-foot-2, 270-pound defensive lineman out of Atlanta, Georgia. He performs his highschool ball at Lakeside Excessive College. His junior season noticed him amass 77 tackles, 22 of which have been for losses. He had ten sacks, 4 quarterback hurries, and two fumble recoveries.
His supply record is sparse, and the Sooners are far and away essentially the most outstanding supply he has. NC State, Texas Tech, and James Madison are a couple of of the opposite colleges which might be in pursuit.
With the announcement of his supply, Williams-Lee introduced he could be taking an official go to to Norman on the weekend of June 14. That weekend is turning into a pivotal second for Sooners within the 2025 recruiting class as quite a lot of different commits are planning to be on the town.
Whereas the supply record isn’t overwhelming, Williams-Lee has some admirable explosive traits and a body that might maintain 300 kilos or extra. He might not be trusted to begin day one if he have been to commit and turn out to be a Sooner. Nonetheless, he’s the kind of participant that Oklahoma may let work within the weight room and see how he develops after a couple of offseasons in Jerry Schmidt’s arms, alongside getting coached up by Bates.
