It’s a huge week for high school football commitments throughout the country, with several top prospects due to make their college picks.
Michael Fasusi, a five-star offensive tackle from Lewisville (Texas), may be the biggest, both physically and figuratively.
The 6-foot-5, 300-pound mauler, ranked as the nation’s No. 12 overall talent and No. 3 offensive tackle, is expected to make his decision Wednesday from a group of five finalists: Missouri, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, and Texas A&M.
So, who will it be?
Prediction: Michael Fasusi to Oklahoma Sooners
Unsurprisingly, Fasusi has been a top goal for Oklahoma in the 2025 recruiting cycle, and the contest appears to be down to three teams: Oklahoma, Texas, and Texas A&M.
In the NIL period, it was difficult to beat out either Texas or Texas A&M for five-star recruits, so the job of crossing the finish line is fairly daunting for an Oklahoma program that is widely regarded as the team to beat as the season approaches its conclusion.
However, as the commitment date approaches, Oklahoma appears to be in position to maintain its lead.
The industry agrees, as 247Sports has all three forecasts favoring the Sooners, while On3 gives Oklahoma a 62.6 percent probability of signing Fasusi.
In its detailed scouting report, 247Sports compares Fasusi to former Oklahoma standout Wanya Morris.
“Gifted O-lineman with true book-end tackle potential. Possesses excellent physical tools and promising athletic context in track and field and combine testing categories. Legitimately 6-foot-5 with long arms and a big reach. Wears mass well and owns space to add more bulk. Multi-sport athlete with 50+ shot put and 150+ discus prowess. Grew up playing soccer and is young for the 2025 cycle. Similarly explosive metrics in vertical and broad jump relative to OT projection. Shows foot quickness and agility to live on an island in pass protection. Nimbleness translates to movement ability in the run game. Flashes some punch power that should become more consistent with continued development. Improved phone-booth strength from sophomore to junior year. Length and athleticism help in recovery vs. twitchy edge speed, but will need to continue technical development to match P4-caliber foes at point of attack. Somewhat high-cut build and plays upright at times. Getting more comfortable as a convicted block-finishing presence, but can still unleash more mean streak. Entering senior year, looks like one of the nation’s top 2025 offensive tackle prospects. Projects as a high-major multi-year starter with physical and athletic specs that suggest early-round NFL Draft upside.”
