2025 Blue Chip Running Back Prospect Includes Oklahoma State Among Top Six Programs

Oklahoma State is on fire in high school recruiting. They could soon add another top prospect to the class.

On Thursday, four-star running back Michael Turner Jr. released his top six programs as his recruitment winds down. Oklahoma State, Missouri, SMU, Baylor, Utah and TCU are the programs that signed Turner Jr. mentioned that were still in his recruitment.

The Cowboys will face quite a bit of competition from the Big 12 in the recruiting battle, as will Missouri, which has struggled to land big-name talent in recent seasons as an SEC program. SMU now also has an ACC recruiting corner.

Born in North Richland Hills, Texas, Turner Jr. is 6 feet tall and weighs 190 pounds. According to 247Sports’ composite rankings, he is the No. 10 prospect in the class of 2025. The No. 26 prospect in Texas is ranked No. 155 nationally and would be an elite addition to Oklahoma State’s 2025 class.

With a four-star quarterback and a four-star defense, Mike Gundy is gearing up for his best recruiting class since becoming head coach at Oklahoma State. Adding Turner Jr., possibly the third four-star talent in the class, would make a huge contribution to the team’s national rankings.

Currently, Oklahoma State’s 2025 recruiting class consists of 16 members, which are ranked No. 23 nationally. Like I said, they were hot on the trail.

Turner Jr. scored 23 rushing touchdowns in his most recent high school football season – with 37 rushing touchdowns in his career. He has also run for 2,697 yards at the high school level. The high-level running back talent would fit in well with the elite in Stillwater, which has historically been a great program for running backs to develop.

No commitment date has been set for the blue chip prospect at this time, but his recruitment will be something Oklahoma State fans will want to keep an eye on.
