Earlier this year, the "Future Freaks" weekend helped earn OU verbal commitments from safety Jaylen Scott, offensive lineman Tyson Ross, tight end Seneca Driver — the top-ranked tight end in the country — and quarterback Jamison Roberts. OU's big recruiting weekend in late May/early June has now earned at least two verbal commitments — the other being running back Jakoby Dixon. Last season, Osborne registered 65 total tackles (44 solo), two interceptions, 10 passes deflected and two fumble recoveries. He's been a two-year starter for the Broncos.Among the rest of the state of Oklahoma's top-10 recruits, the Sooners are still fighting for Washington linebacker Case Alexander, a three star.In addition to current starters Eli Bowen and Courtland Guillory, new cornerbacks coach LaMar Morgan will have plenty of talent to work with as he begins his new career move in Norman.
