Breaking News: 2026 4-Star ATH Madden Williams Commits to Oklahoma Sooners: “It Is All There for Me at Sooners”
In a significant boost to the Oklahoma Sooners’ recruiting efforts, 2026 four-star athlete Madden Williams has committed to playing for the prestigious program. Williams, who is regarded as one of the top all-around athletes in the class, made the announcement today, sending shockwaves through the college football world.
A standout performer at both wide receiver and defensive back in high school, Williams has the rare combination of size, speed, and agility that coaches dream of. His versatility on the field has made him a top target for many programs, but it was Oklahoma’s offer that ultimately won him over. In his commitment statement, Williams made it clear that he sees a clear path to success in Norman, Oklahoma.
“I’ve been thinking long and hard about my decision, and when it comes down to it, it is all there for me at Oklahoma,” Williams said. “The coaches, the facilities, and the tradition of winning — everything I want in a program, I see in the Sooners. They want me to contribute right away, and I feel like I can really make an impact here.”
Williams’ commitment comes at a crucial time for the Sooners as they continue to build a recruiting class that can contend for national championships. The 2026 class is loaded with talent, and Williams’ decision further cements Oklahoma’s status as a rising force in the recruiting world. His announcement also adds fuel to the fire of what is becoming a highly anticipated class, as the Sooners continue to make strides under head coach Brent Venables.
Venables expressed his excitement about Williams’ commitment, praising his athleticism and potential.
“Madden is the kind of player who can excel at multiple positions, and that kind of versatility is exactly what we are looking for in our recruits,” Venables said. “He has the potential to be a game-changer for us, and we’re excited to have him join the Sooners family. We know he will thrive in our system and make an immediate impact.”
Oklahoma has been known for producing top-tier athletes over the years, with players like Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, and CeeDee Lamb having left their mark on the program. Williams, with his combination of skills and drive, could follow in the footsteps of those former greats.
On the recruiting trail, Williams has been a coveted prospect for many major programs, but the Sooners’ ability to showcase a commitment to development and a winning environment ultimately tipped the scales in their favor. Williams had been in close contact with the Oklahoma coaching staff, and visits to campus solidified his decision.
Looking ahead, Williams will be a player to watch as he enters his senior year of high school football. His performance on the field will only add to his already impressive recruiting profile. But for now, the focus is on his commitment to the Sooners, and fans in Norman are already buzzing with excitement about what the future holds.
Williams’ decision is expected to have a domino effect, as recruits who were considering other programs may now take a closer look at Oklahoma’s growing roster of commitments. The Sooners are now in an excellent position to continue attracting top talent as they push towards becoming a national contender.
