Felix Ojo was set to be one of the top prospects visiting Norman this summer. However, on Monday, June 9, the five-star offensive tackle cancelled his official visit with the Oklahoma Sooners and head coach Brent Venables.

In even more heartbreaking news, Ojo is nearly 100 percent crystal-balled to land with OU's rivals, the Texas Longhorns.

Ojo was scheduled to visit Norman over the weekend of June 20, just a week after his (still) scheduled official visit with the Longhorns. Earlier in the summer, the young OT also visited the Ohio State Buckeyes, Michigan Wolverines, and Florida Gators.

Now, with no visit to Norman, recruiting experts at On3 give the Sooners just a 2.2 percent chance to land the Texas native over his home-state program.

After telling On3's Hayes Fawcett that the trip to Oklahoma was "Not needed" and he was "Nearing [his] decision a lot sooner than later," Ojo reposted Fawcett's original news with the simple message of "God's plan."

Ojo is the No. 3 offensive tackle in the nation out of the class of 2026 and the No. 1 overall athlete out of the state of Texas, with an overall ranking of No. 6 in the country.

While On3 has the Horns favored to land the OT, with the Sooners in second place, a lot of sites have reported that the Wolverines are also trending in the right direction to land his commitment.

Before Fawcett broke the news that Ojo had cancelled his official visit with the Sooners, the offensive tackle had reposted news of one of his former middle school teammates, wide receiver Kohen Brown, committing to the Longhorns.

As of now, Ojo is still scheduled to visit Austin despite cancelling his OV with Oklahoma. It will be his fourth and final official visit of the summer.
