Ryan Fodje commits to Oklahoma as OU football lands another valuable offensive line addition to the 2025 class.
Oklahoma chose to hold another junior day event after their first, which had been a success, in late January. The staff of the Sooners made the decision to organize another for the next weekend in February.
It worked out the same way as the first. Oklahoma added a new student to their class of 2025.
Ryan Fodje declared on social media that he will play for the Sooners. He is the group’s tenth commit, its sixth offensive player, and the cycle’s second addition to the offensive line.
Based on the 247Sports Network’s unique rankings, our team of national experts rates Fodje as the best three-star player with an overall grade of 89. He now ranks as the No. 44 player in the state of Texas and the No. 27 offensive tackle in the entire country.
According to the 247Sports Composite Player Rankings, which are produced by the industry, Fodje is ranked 400th overall for the cycle by the recruiting community. Considering that Fodje ranks as the No. 34 offensive lineman in the country and among the top 60 players in the Lone Star State, the 247Sports Network has a better opinion of his abilities than the composite.
The 275-pound, 6-foot-5 player received an offer from Oklahoma earlier in the summer following an impressive showing at one of OU’s camps. Out of a lengthy offer sheet that included schools like Texas, Texas A&M, Oregon, USC, Arkansas, and others, he choose the Sooners.
Fodje has received early offers from Baylor, Maryland, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. He is a high-ceiling junior, according to national scouting analyst Gabe Brooks, who also assigned Fodje’s initial prospect grade.
“Fodje, who stands somewhat taller than teammate Jonte Newman, is probably a long-term tackle potential who could play on the right side or turn into a reliable cornerback on the left. Although his measurables are still pending, Fodje, who enters the game with a high three-star 89 rating on 247Sports, shows excellent pass-protection agility. He is undoubtedly a taller, larger-framed talent with a reasonably lean physique for a 6-foot-5, 275-pound player. Fodje uses some sophomore shot put reps to check the multi-sport box. His arm length and wingspan appear to be pretty promising, and we anticipate receiving some validated statistics on them since he may yet improve in the rankings.”
In particular, the larger South Central region has an abundance of offensive line talent in the 2025 cycle. Given OU’s concentration on the position group in this class and the fact that many of these players expressly call Texas home, the Sooners set out to make the most of this class. Fodje becomes the second offensive front-line commit for Oklahoma up to this point in the process, joining Owen Hollenbeck, so this is undoubtedly a step in the right direction.
