Sophia Schlader committed to OU softball Wednesday after head coach Patty Gasso posted a “Go Boomer” video on X.

Gasso's video included messages from former Sooners like Alyssa Brito, Jayda Coleman, Kelly Maxwell and others.

Schlader, an Urbandale, Iowa native, is the the No. 1 pitcher and No. 3 player in the 2028 class, according to Softball America. 

“I am SO excited and blessed to announce that I have verbally committed to continue my academic and athletic career at the University of Oklahoma!” Schlader wrote in a graphic posted on Instagram.

Schlader is the Sooners' second commitment in the 2028 class, joining Braylyn Saenz, a top-50 recruit out of Moore High School.
