Trey Wright shares reaction to Oklahoma offer as Sooners continue building for the 2028 quarterback class

Oklahoma’s pursuit of a quarterback for the 2028 recruiting class is continuing to take shape, and one of the newest names in that race is Trey Wright. Wright, a dual-threat passer from Frisco Lone Star High School, told A to Z Sports that he was “beyond blessed” to receive an offer from the Sooners after a conversation with Oklahoma offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle.

The timing matters because Oklahoma is not starting from scratch at quarterback, but it is still working ahead. The Sooners already have a quarterback commitment in the 2027 class, with Jameson Roberts set to be the program’s next report-caller. At the same time, Oklahoma does not yet have a confirmed quarterback for 2028, even after recent additions to other positions, including the landing of Noah Smith as part of the current recruiting momentum.

Wright’s offer comes as Oklahoma expands its quarterback board for the 2028 cycle. According to coverage from A to Z Sports and Sooners Wire, Oklahoma has sent out multiple scholarship offers to quarterbacks in the class, with the Wright offer described as the latest in a group of quarterback targets. Sooners Wire also reported that Wright’s offer increased the Sooners’ total number of 2028 quarterback offers to five.

Details about Wright’s profile were also part of the reporting. Sooners Wire described him as a dual-threat quarterback standing 5-foot-11 and 180 pounds. The same coverage noted he has two years remaining in high school and that he holds offers from other major programs, including Oregon and Michigan, among others. In other words, the Sooners are not simply taking a flyer, they are entering a multi-offer recruitment for a quarterback who has drawn attention beyond Oklahoma.

Wright’s own comments emphasized two themes that often follow early-offer recruits: the program’s status and proximity. In his remarks reported by A to Z Sports, Wright said Oklahoma is one of the top programs in the country and that the Sooners have produced “a lot of great players and quarterbacks.” He also highlighted the interaction with the staff as something he found “genuine and easy to talk to,” and he pointed to how “close to home” it is, expressing interest in getting up to campus for more time around coaches and players.

Oklahoma’s quarterback search is also unfolding alongside an active present-tense quarterback room on the roster. Sooners Wire placed the current quarterback depth in context by listing John Mateer as the redshirt-senior starter, with Bowe Bentley as a freshman expected to be an heir-apparent, and additional players in the rotation such as Whitt Newbauer and Jett Niu. With that foundation in place, the 2028 recruitment is less about immediate need and more about sustaining Oklahoma’s quarterback pipeline and keeping recruiting control years out.

What to watch next is whether Oklahoma can turn this new offer into a concrete recruitment process, such as official visit timing and continued contact as the class develops. For Wright, the next step is likely to be follow-through after the offer, especially since multiple schools are already involved. For Oklahoma, the central question remains whether it can land its quarterback target for 2028 before the recruiting calendar closes out the major early recruiting windows.
