Oklahoma trending over Texas for 4-star CB Courtland Guillory

Texas and Oklahoma going head-to-head on the recruiting trail is an every-year occurrence, and 2025 will be no different for the Sooners and Longhorns. The two programs are set to battle for some of the nation’s top recruits — many of whom hail from the Lone Star State.

A prospect quickly moving up the recruiting board for each school is Houston (Texas) Klein Oak four-star cornerback Courtland Guillory.

The 6-foot-1, 170-pounder visited both the Sooners and Longhorns this spring, including a visit to Norman this past weekend. Coming out of that visit, it is shaping up to be a two-team battle between the hated rivals.

And that’s reflected in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM), where Oklahoma was holding a slight edge over Texas. But after expert predictions in the Sooners’ favor from OU recruiting insider Josh McCuistion and On3’s Steve Wiltfong, Brent Venables and Co. look to be in prime position.

OU’s coaches are going on the road to visit prospects this week, and according to McCuistion, the tides have shifted in the Sooners’ favor.

“The possibility also remains that Oklahoma could get by to see spring game visitor Courtland Guillory, a player whose visit in Norman went so well that the Scoop staff has put in a prediction for the Sooners.”

Guillory is set to announce his commitment on Saturday, with OU, Texas, Texas A&M and UCF as his finalists.

Longhorns came in with an offer last month

Tennessee, Georgia Tech, Missouri, Arizona State, TCU, and Oregon State all have offered him as well, though only OU and Texas have received visits this spring.

Texas jumped into the mix with the Houston area defensive back in February, and he told Inside Texas that the ‘Horns are definitely in his top three after his Under Armour Next Camp in Dallas.

Oklahoma, Texas A&M, and Arizona State are the other programs in the mix. He has official visits currently scheduled to ASU on May 31, Texas on June 7, Kansas on June 14, and OU on June 21.

Guillory is the No. 354 overall prospect in the 2025 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the country’s No. 32 cornerback and the No. 57 recruit in Texas.
