The Oklahoma Sooners are already making strides in the 2026 recruiting cycle with Ryder Mix announcing his commitment to OU via social media.
Mix becomes the second addition to Oklahoma’s 2026 recruiting class and the second offensive player to commit thus far. Known as one of the top talents in the south central region for his position, Mix is expected to bring promise to the Sooners’ lineup.
Ranked at No. 303 overall in the early 247Sports Composite Player Rankings for the 2026 class, Mix is recognized as the 16th best tight end nationally and ranks 43rd in Texas. According to the 247Sports Network, he stands at No. 21 among tight ends nationally and is a top-60 prospect in Texas.
Standing 6-foot-4 and weighing 220 pounds, Mix showcased his skills during the 2023 season with impressive stats, including 248 receiving yards on 16 catches and three touchdowns, earning him All-District honors at tight end.
Originally offered by Oklahoma in February, Mix visited the campus in the spring. Hailing from Frisco, Texas, and Lone Star High School, Mix comes from a program with strong connections to OU, including former star Marvin Mims, now with the NFL’s Denver Broncos.
Oklahoma now boasts two commitments for the 2026 class, with Mix joining standout running back Jonathan Hatton Jr., who committed in October 2023. This early momentum indicates a promising start for the Sooners in their recruitment efforts.
