ESPN 300 wide receiver Mario Williams announced his commitment to Oklahoma on Friday. The No. 16 ranked recruit overall, Williams chose the Sooners over Alabama, Florida, Georgia and LSU.
Williams is a 5-foot-10, 165-pound receiver from Plant City High School in Plant City, Florida. He is the No. 1 ranked receiver in the class and is the second ESPN 300 receiver to commit to Oklahoma in this cycle, joining Cody Jackson, a 6-foot, 175-pound recruit out of Richmond, Texas.
Adding Williams to the class gives the offense another big-play option, a quick receiver who has a knack for making something happen. Over the last two seasons, Williams has had 1,745 receiving yards and 23 touchdowns for his high school team.
It’s no secret Oklahoma’s offense has been pumping out big names over the past few years and Williams is entering a roster with a lot of options at the position. Coach Lincoln Riley and his staff added ESPN 300 receiver Marvin Mims in the 2020 cycle.
That was preceded by the 2019 where Oklahoma was able to sign the No. 1 ranked receiver, Jadon Haselwood, the No. 3 ranked receiver in Theo Wease Jr. and the No. 22 ranked receiver, Trejan Bridges.
The offense is in good shape for the future at Oklahoma, especially considering the staff also signed the No. 1 ranked dual-threat quarterback in 2019 in Spencer Rattler, ESPN 300 quarterback Chandler Morris in 2020 and are in the top group for the No. 1 ranked dual-threat quarterback in the 2021 cycle, Caleb Williams, who is also listing Maryland and LSU as his other top schools.
