Introducing the Oklahoma Sooners’ entire 2027 softball signing class

A dynasty like Patty Gasso has built with the Oklahoma softball program is constructed with signing classes like this one.

The signing period for 2027 softball recruits opened on Wednesday, as all three of the Sooners' commits made things official before getting to campus ahead of next season. There wasn't much quantity with only three signees, but still a lot of quality, with the entire trio being top-25 prospects based on On3's ratings.

This 2027 class would also have had a fourth addition if catcher Goose Hutchens hadn't reclassified to the 2026 class and joined the Sooners for this upcoming season. She's already shown during the fall season why she was the No. 2 prospect in the 2027 class before reclassifying and will likely immediately crack the starting lineup.

Even without Hutchens and with only three signees, the Sooners' 2027 class still ranks as the No. 6 in college softball and No. 4 in the SEC. OU is the only team inside the top 10 with fewer than four commits.

With the players now officially Sooners, here's what fans need to know about each signee headed to Love's Field.

Riley Hilliard - 5-star C - La Mirada, California

No one will be deeper behind the plate than the Sooners.

Riley Hilliard is the top catcher in the class and the No. 6 overall player. She's also the No. 2 prospect in the state of California from La Mirada High School. According to MaxPreps, Hilliard hit .568 in 29 games and 81 at-bats last season for La Mirada. She also added 10 home runs, 33 RBI, and 20 runs.

Once Hilliard joins the roster, OU will have brought in the last three top catching prospects, followed by Kendall Wells (2025) and Hutchens (2026). Everyone already knows how phenomenal Wells is, and now fans are quickly learning that Hutchens is on the same level. Obviously, they can't all be behind the plate, but Gasso will find spots for them in the lineup to contribute, while also providing a lot of depth at a position that needs it most.

Emma Reynolds - 4-star IF - Queen Creek, Arizona

Emma Reynolds is the only signee without a five-star status, but she's still a blue-chip prospect with elite potential.

Reynolds posted a .588 batting average last season for Queen Creek High School in Arizona, as well as 10 home runs, 34 RBI, 65 runs, and 15 stolen bases, according to MaxPreps. She's the No. 4 middle infielder in the class and No. 24 overall player. She's also the best prospect coming out of Arizona.

Finlee Williams - 5-star OF - Melissa, Texas

Outfielder Finlee Williams isn't just the headliner of OU's signing class, but the entire 2027 class as the No. 1 overall prospect in the country out of Melissa High School in Texas.

This marks the third year in a row that Gasso has inked the top player in the class, as Williams joins fellow outfielders Kai Minor (2025) and Payton Westra (2026). A year from now, the Sooners' entire outfield could be made up of former top recruits.

Williams posted a .602 batting average in 113 recorded ABs this season, plus 22 home runs, 71 RBI, and 73 runs this past season, per MaxPreps. That means Williams drove in a run on a staggering 62.8% of her plate appearances during her most recent season. She also has electric speed once on the bases, with 30 stolen bases last year.
