Updated OCT 10, 2026Oklahoma rekindles Brody Knowles recruitment with Texas visit
What Happened
Illinois wide receiver commit Brody Knowles was scheduled to visit Oklahoma for its Oct. 10 game against Texas, reopening a recruitment the Sooners once appeared to lead, On3 reported. The trip sets up a direct Illinois-Oklahoma battle for Knowles, who remains uncommitted to the Sooners and could become a future wide receiver addition for either program. Oklahoma was 2-2 through Sept. 26, while Illinois was 2-3 through Oct. 3. The visit was scheduled around Oklahoma’s 3:30 p.m. ET game against Texas on Saturday, Oct. 10. Its length and details were not known, and Knowles had not announced whether he would decommit from Illinois, sign with Oklahoma or when he would make a final decision.
