Top DL Prospect Deuce Geralds Eyes Oklahoma as He Prepares to Trim College List
Highly touted defensive lineman Deuce Geralds, a standout in the 2026 recruiting class, is getting closer to making a major decision about his college future. Currently ranked No. 143 overall and the No. 21 defensive lineman by 247Sports, Geralds has been a key target for several top programs across the country, including the Oklahoma Sooners.
The four-star recruit from Collins Hill High School in Suwanee, Georgia, recently announced that he plans to narrow his list of schools from 12 to six this spring. Among the schools vying for his commitment are powerhouse programs such as Alabama, LSU, Texas, and Ohio State, but Oklahoma remains firmly in the mix as a strong contender.
Geralds has drawn interest for his explosive playmaking ability, versatility on the defensive front, and relentless motor, which could make him a perfect fit for the Sooners’ defensive scheme. Oklahoma has been actively recruiting Geralds, emphasizing their tradition of developing top-tier defensive talent and their recent move to the Southeastern Conference, which promises high-level competition.
“The relationships I’ve built with the coaching staff have been great,” Geralds mentioned in a recent interview. “I really like what Oklahoma is doing with their defense, and I can see myself thriving in that environment.”
With the Sooners looking to bolster their defensive front for the future, landing a prospect of Geralds’ caliber would be a significant win for Brent Venables and his staff. As Geralds works through his final decision, Oklahoma fans eagerly await to see if their program will make the cut in his top six.
Stay tuned for updates as Geralds continues his recruitment journey, with Oklahoma hoping to secure a top-tier addition to their 2026 class.
