OU coach Brent Venables talks with a fan during Meet the Sooners Day for the University of Oklahoma football team at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial stadium in Norman, Okla. Saturday, Aug. 3, 2024.

Five-star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi, ranked the 12th best overall player in the Class of 2025, committed to Oklahoma on Wednesday.

Fasusi, out of Lewisville, Texas, chose the Sooners over the Longhorns, Texas A&M, Missouri, Oregon and Alabama among 37 offers.

"I almost committed on the official visit to Oklahoma," Fasusi told On3. "That visit to Norman really summed it all up. It wasn't just me, but my family felt it, too. The coaches did more than impress me, they made my family feel comfortable and we all felt the love."

The 6-foot-5 Fasusi is the third-best tackle in the class and fifth-best recruit out of the state of Texas, according to the 247Sports composite rankings.

Fasusi gives Oklahoma coach Brent Venables his first five-star commit in the class. The Sooners have the eighth-best class in the country, according to 247Sports.

No. 16 Oklahoma opens its 2024 season at home vs. Temple on Aug. 30.
