The Sooners will play Utah State in Norman, according to a report Monday from FB Schedules.
Oklahoma has added a future non-conference opponent to the football schedule.
OU will play host to Utah State in 2027, according to report Monday by FBSchedules.com.
The Sooners and Aggies will meet on Sept. 4, 2027. According to the report, OU will pay USU a $1.5 million guarantee for the game.
The contract information was obtained from Utah State University through a state public records request. The contract was signed on June 11, 2024.
It’ll be the sixth meeting between Oklahoma and Utah State, with their most recent meeting a 31-24 victory in 2010. OU is 5-0 all-time against the Aggies.
The SEC is widely expected to move from an eight-game conference schedule to a nine-game format after the 2025 season, which would mean OU’s three non-conference opponents are set. The Sooners are contracted to play at SMU on Sept. 11 and host San Diego State on Sept. 18. Those dates might be moved if the SEC decides OU needs to play a conference game on one of those dates.
OU is scheduled to play Illinois State, Michigan, at Temple and Kent State in 2025 in its second season in the SEC.
In 2026, the Sooners’ non-conference games are UTEP, at Michigan and New Mexico, while the 2028 schedule consists of games against Temple, at Houston and home versus Colorado State.
The event saw OU play host to a number of talented prospects in the 2026 and 2027 recruiting classes.
In addition to all three of the Sooners’ 2026 commits being on campus on Thursday, multiple Oklahoma targets and a few more players who picked up offers during the event made the trip to Norman.
OU commits
In the 2026 class, 4-star Sooners’ pledges Jaden O’Neal, Jonathan Hatton Jr. and Ryder Mix were all in attendance on Thursday.
Hatton, a standout running back from Cibolo Steele (TX), was the first player to commit to Oklahoma in the upcoming cycle, but had yet to meet O’Neal and Mix. The trio was able to connect for the first time this weekend alongside a number of OU coaches.
