Odessa (Texas) four-star wide receiver Ivan Carreon has committed to Oklahoma.

His decision comes less than 24 hours after he decommitted from Texas Tech. He had previously been committed to the Red Raiders since Dec. 1, 2022.

Carreon is the No. 217 overall prospect and No. 36 wide receiver in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 42 player in Texas.

Carrion is a strong addition to Oklahoma’s top-20 class

Flipping Carreon from Texas Tech marks another big recruiting win for head coach Brent Venables and his staff. The Lone Star State native received an offer from Oklahoma on June 3.

The Sooners’ 2024 recruiting class currently ranks No. 16 in the 2024 On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings and No. 8 in the SEC. It contains 11 commitments, including three from wide receivers in Carreon, Missouri City (Texas) Hightower four-star Zion Kearney and Franklinton (La.) three-star Kelly Daniels.

Other players pledged to Oklahoma include Lewisville (Texas) four-star safety Jaydan Hardy, Queen Creek (Ariz.) four-star cornerback Jeremiah Newcombe, McKinney (Texas) Frisco Emerson four-star quarterback Michael Hawkins and Fulton (Miss.) Itawamba Agricultural three-star offensive tackle Isaiah Autry.

“Once Coach V got there, the culture changed,” Hawkins told On3’s Sam Spiegelman on April 8. “Oklahoma has come a long way with the culture over there. You can instantly tell that everyone is together as a whole, as a family.”
