Five-star offensive lineman Cooper Hackett has flipped his commitment from Texas Tech to OU, per his X announcement.

Hackett, a junior at Fort Gibson High School, ranks as the No. 10 recruit and No. 3 offensive tackle in the 2027 class. He is also the No. 1 recruit in Oklahoma. 

Hackett committed to the Red Raiders on Aug. 30, before he flipped his commitment. This marks OU football's first five-star commitment in the class of 2027.
