Oklahoma Secures Five-Star OT Michael Fasusi, Edging Out Texas and Texas A&M
In a dramatic turn of events, five-star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi has reaffirmed his commitment to Oklahoma, choosing the Sooners over arch-rivals Texas and Texas A&M. This development marks the second time Fasusi has opted for Oklahoma over the Longhorns.
Fasusi’s Decision
Fasusi, a standout player from Lewisville, Texas, had been contemplating his options, taking visits to Texas and weighing his choices. Despite rumors suggesting a potential signing-day flip, he ultimately signed with Oklahoma on Wednesday. In an interview with On3 last month, Fasusi acknowledged the difficulty of his decision:
“The race is tight right now… Things are so close right now, to pick one school would be very difficult.”
