Oklahoma Hoping for Good News as Top In-State Prospect Sets Commitment Date

Compton-Nero sets decision date

Kamieon Compton-Nero will announce his college decision on Nov. 13, according to a report by Hayes Fawcett of Rivals. The Class of 2028 athlete is the consensus top prospect from Oklahoma.

Compton-Nero, who is from Owasso, is listed at 6-foot-3 and 187 pounds. ESPN ranks him No. 35 overall in the 2028 class, while the Rivals Industry Rankings place him No. 3 among athletes. Oklahoma is recruiting him as a safety, though he plays multiple positions.

A steady presence in Norman

Compton-Nero has visited Oklahoma several times in recent months. He attended the spring game in April, returned for an unofficial visit in the summer and visited for the Sept. 4 season opener against UTEP.

He was also in the Sooners’ recruiting section at the Cotton Bowl on Oct. 10, when Oklahoma defeated No. 1 Texas. He has made unofficial visits to all five finalists and attended Notre Dame’s home win over No. 1 Miami on Saturday.

Strong sophomore production

He also totaled 3,335 yards of offense and 49 touchdowns. His finalists are Oklahoma, Notre Dame, SMU, Alabama and Ole Miss.

Other 2028 recruiting targets

Rivals recruiting director Chad Simmons made a prediction Tuesday that Oklahoma would land Keoni Snipes, a blue-chip edge rusher from Saraland, Alabama. Snipes is 6-foot-5 and 245 pounds, and 247Sports ranks him No. 67 overall in the 2028 class.

Snipes had 30 tackles, seven tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks as a sophomore in 2025. He is a teammate of Oklahoma-committed 2027 quarterback Jamison Roberts, and other programs that offered him include Georgia, Texas, Miami, Florida, Texas A&M, Oregon, LSU, Auburn and Alabama.

Oklahoma is also among seven schools still pursuing offensive tackle Lincoln Fa’alafi. The San Juan Capistrano, California, prospect is a consensus four-star recruit, ranked No. 1 at his position and No. 7 overall in the 2028 class. His other finalists are UCLA, BYU, Notre Dame, Oregon, Ohio State and USC.
