<a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/oklahoma-sooners/">Oklahoma</a> continued their hot start to the 2027 class with Inglewood (Calif.) defensive lineman <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/elija-harmon-236801/">Elijah Harmon</a> the latest four-star prospect to announce for the Sooners. 



Harmon had a final five list that also included Nebraska, Oregon, Texas A&M and USC. He took a pair of visits to Oklahoma, including a recent game day visit two weeks ago and the Sooners were able to seal the deal. 



“There were so many things I liked about Oklahoma,” Harmon said. “I have a great relationship with the coaching staff. Coach Bates is my guy and we talk almost every day.



“I love the defense and how well I fit in there. Their scheme really fits my style of play. It’s more of a four man front but they change it up and play some three man as well, which is similar to the defense we play at my high school.”



Harmon said he’s hopeful he’ll be able to step in and play early. 



“That’s definitely the goal for me,” Harmon said. “I think being familiar with their scheme will help me. It’s something I won’t be a stranger to and can adjust quickly. 



“They want me to come in and be ready to go early and play a big role in what they’re doing. Position wise, they see me playing similar to how they use Jayden Jackson and that’s exciting for me.”



Harmon said he loved the game day atmosphere on both of his trips.



“I went to the game with Michigan for my first visit,” Harmon said. “I was able to do the full campus tour and saw the football facilities. Everything was really nice and I felt at home.



“Last visit was for the LSU game and that was cool too. It was a different atmosphere at the game because they had to go through some adversity before they pulled it out and that made the win feel even sweeter.”



Harmon is a four-star and rated the No. 152 player nationally in the Rivals Industry Ranking. He suffered a pre-season lower body injury and missed much of his junior season but when healthy, he’s a dominant tackle prospect who moves well, commands a double team and can manhandle an opposing guard or center.
