Kaeden Penny nearly enrolled at Oklahoma a year early and signed with the 2026 class, he explained to SoonerScoop on Friday night. Penny instead remains part of Oklahoma’s 2027 recruiting class. Industry consensus ranks him as the highest-ranked offensive commit in that group, which is also described as star-studded. The decision keeps Penny on his original class timeline and leaves Oklahoma without that offensive line addition in 2026.
