The Oklahoma Sooners have a pair of gems in their 2027 recruiting class. And both players committed on the same day. Cooper Hackett and Kaeden Penny joined the Sooners in early fall, and both were considered top-five offensive tackles in the 2027 class in the latest Rivals rankings update.
Both players are from Oklahoma.

Hackett, who is from Gibsonburg, was ranked No. 6 overall in Rivals’ latest update and the No. 2 offensive tackle in the class. Penny, who is from Edmond, is ranked 20th overall and the fourth-ranked offensive tackle in the class.
The pair headline a class that has 13 players and ranks third in the Rivals team recruiting rankings and first in the Rivals Industry team rankings.
In addition to Hackett and Penny and the 86th-ranked prospect in the class, Keldrid Ben, the Sooners have several other top-100 prospects such as cornerback Gabriel Osborne, linebackers Cooper Witten, Bode Sparrow, edge rusher Prince Goldsby and cornerback Juju Johnson.

Oklahoma State has invested heavily in offensive line recruiting in recent years. Their 2025 offensive tackles Michael Fasusi and Ryan Fodje rank in the top 10. In 2026, offensive lineman Deacon Schmidt provided a huge win for Bill Bedenbaugh. In the 2027 cycle, the Sooners hope to have Hackett and Penny as cornerstone offensive linemen of the future.
