Bethany (Okla.) three-star linebacker Taylor Heim has committed to Oklahoma. He announced the news over social media on Friday night.

Heim is the No. 740 overall prospect and No. 77 linebacker in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 11 player in Oklahoma.

“I’m excited and ready to get to work so I can show what I can do at the next level,” Heim wrote in a statement published to Twitter. “Thank you Coach Venables and the entire OU staff for giving me this opportunity. With that being said, I am committing to the University of Oklahoma! BoomerSooner.”

Heim is now the fourth linebacker pledge in the Sooners’ 2023 recruiting class. The others are Crandall (Texas) four-star Samuel Omosigho, Tampa (Fla.) Tampa Catholic four-star Lewis Carter and Perkasie (Penn.) IMG Academy three-star Phil Picciotti.

The 6-foot-5, 190-pound defender received 12 offers. In addition to Oklahoma, they included Air Force, Army and Navy.

Heim has an On3 NIL Valuation of $6K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
