Five-star offensive lineman Michael Fasusi made his long-anticipated decision official on signing day, putting pen to paper and committing to the Oklahoma Sooners. For Fasusi, the decision wasn’t just about football; it was about finding a program that felt like home.
“I knew OU was the right place for me,” Fasusi shared. “From the moment I visited, I felt the connection with the coaches, the players, and the overall atmosphere. It’s more than just a team; it’s a family.”
The highly touted recruit, standing 6-foot-5 and weighing 290 pounds, is considered one of the top offensive linemen in the 2024 class. His athleticism, strength, and versatility made him a coveted target for several powerhouse programs. However, Fasusi’s visits to Norman sealed the deal.
“The coaching staff was a big part of my decision,” Fasusi explained. “They not only believe in me as a player but also as a person. They showed me how I can grow on and off the field, and that meant a lot to me.”
Fasusi also emphasized the importance of Oklahoma’s recent momentum under head coach Brent Venables. “You can see the vision they have for this program,” he said. “They’re building something special, and I want to be part of that.”
The Sooners are set to enter the SEC, and Fasusi is ready for the challenge. “Playing against the best is what excites me,” he said. “I know OU is preparing me to compete at the highest level.”
With his commitment, Fasusi joins a highly ranked recruiting class that looks to solidify Oklahoma’s future as a contender in the SEC. For Fasusi, signing day was the culmination of hard work and a commitment to his dreams—and the start of an exciting journey in Norman.
