The Oklahoma Sooners earned a commitment from their preferred quarterback prospect in the 2027 recruiting class earlier this month, during the “Future Freaks” weekend event. Now, it looks like OU will be getting him back on campus this summer to have him try to help Oklahoma add to the nation’s top class thus far.
Saraland High School QB Jamison Roberts pledged to the Sooners on March 7th, and the Mobile, Alabama product gives Oklahoma a quarterback in the ’27 class to build around. He’s a four-star prospect according to Rivals, and he measures it at 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds.
Roberts’ commitment helps OU further stabilize the future of the QB position under offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Ben Arbuckle, and now the signal-caller can also help Oklahoma add some other priority targets in his class.
Roberts will be attending Oklahoma’s ChampU BBQ weekend event from June 12th-14th, where he’ll surely be looking to help recruit prospects to come join him in Norman. While the Sooners have already done great work on the trail so far to build the current No. 1 class in the country, general manager Jim Nagy and head coach Brent Venables still have a number of targets that they want to get in the boat.

Oklahoma pursued Roberts for some time, and stayed in hard pursuit of him until landing his commitment. Arbuckle identified Roberts early on in the process, and that evaluation paid off, as the Sooners had a leg up on the other schools that came after Roberts. Arbuckle building that relationship early was a big key to locking down Roberts.
Roberts should be in good hands with Arbuckle, who aided in the development process of Bailey Zappe, and was responsible for developing Austin Reed, Cameron Ward, and, of course, current OU starter John Mateer. Roberts will have to wait his turn behind Bowe Bentley, who will be Arbuckle’s next project after Mateer, but the dual-threat standout for the Saraland Spartans will be teaming up with a coach who knows what he’s doing with QBs.
Now that Roberts is on board, he’ll be able to help convince other recruits to join the Sooners, especially since they now know who their quarterback will be, and the ChampU BBQ will be a great opportunity to do so. With signing day not until December, there’s a long way to go, but Oklahoma could be on the verge of reeling in a historic 2027 class, and Roberts can be one of the faces leading the way, and helping others join forces.
