Sooners target Ivan Carreon decommits from Texas Tech

The Oklahoma Sooners have been picking up momentum on the recruiting trail, with four commitments in the last couple of weeks. The Sooners are still getting good news. Four-star wide receiver Ivan Carreon decommitted from Texas Tech on Thursday evening.

The Sooners welcomed Carreon to camp back in the early part of June and subsequently issued an offer to the blue-chip wide receiver. Oklahoma wide receivers coach Emmett Jones had been recruiting Odessa, Texas prospect while he was in the same position at Texas Tech. Now with the Sooners, Oklahoma looks to be gaining significant ground in Carreon’s recruitment.

Carreon is an impressive athlete. Not only does he have incredible size at 6-foot-6, but he moves really well in the open field. He’s got really good agility to make defenders miss and displays great breakaway speed to run away with the defense.

He’s a smooth route runner that uses his frame to his advantage and catches the football away from his body.

Though there hasn’t been a 247Sports crystal ball issued in his recruitment, Carreon’s been predicted to the Sooners by SoonerScoop’s Josh McCuistion and On3’s Sam Spiegelman. OUInsider’s Parker Thune has also issued a prediction favoring the Sooners in his recruitment.

Carreon’s a consensus four-star prospect, a top 250 prospect overall, and is considered a top 42 wide receiver prospect in the 2024 recruiting cycle.

The Oklahoma Sooners have already added wide receivers Zion Kearney, K.J. Daniels, and Dozie Ezukanma and look to be on the verge of adding Ivan Carreon to their ranks. Though listed as a wide receiver, there’s a chance the Sooners could put him to work as a tight end that splits out into the slot or out wide in the passing game.
