OU football adds 4-star Utah ATH Bode Sparrow in 2027 recruiting class

Sparrow chose Oklahoma over BYU, Utah, Oregon, and many more. He’s a consensus four-star prospect in the cycle. He ranks No. 82 in the class according to 247Sports and is the No. 1 player in the state of Utah. According to Rivals, Sparrow is the No. 59 player in the nation. He’s Oklahoma’s sixth top 100 player committed to the class, according to the Rivals 300 rankings.

Sparrow holds offers from 23 Power Four schools, including 13 SEC and Big Ten programs.

He’s a dynamic athlete who stars on both sides of the ball for his high school squad. The Oklahoma Sooners will use him on defense, putting his athleticism to work at safety or at cheetah in Brent Venables’ defense. Sparrow is a fast and physical playmaker who displays fantastic recognition and play speed. He attacks the ball aggressively and looks to destroy the ball carrier. His length creates problems in the passing game, and his speed quickly closes down throwing windows.

This is a huge addition for the Oklahoma Sooners defense. Sparrow will have a chance to make an immediate impact when he arrives on campus in 2027.
