Oklahoma’s annual Meet the Sooners event can sometimes bring good news to OU, and it did once again Saturday evening.

Waco (Texas) La Vega cornerback Parrish Cobb tweeted his commitment to OU and later confirmed via text message he has indeed pledged to the Sooners.

This recruiting process has been an unbelievable experience! & I'm proud to say I've committed to the UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA!??? #SOONERS #OU — P.Cobb (@PctheDb4) August 8, 2015

Cobb, a four-star prospect, is ranked No. 26 at cornerback and is OU’s second cornerback commit for the 2016 class and ninth overall.

For the last few months, it has felt like a battle between OU and hometown Baylor with Texas lurking in the distance. Cobb visited OU for junior day back in March and has developed a great relationship with first-year defensive backs coach Kerry Cooks.

Cooks seemed to be struggling on the trail a couple of months ago but two of OU’s last three commitments have come in the secondary. Three-star safety Chanse Sylvie committed to the Sooners on July 30.

Sylvie hinted at good news coming for the Sooners earlier in the afternoon via a tweet Saturday saying he felt the Sooners were about to get another addition to their #OUDNA.

Cobb joins junior college cornerback Maurice Chandler as the other corner pledged to the Sooners. Secondary slots are at a premium this season for OU, and it’s clear Cobb felt now was the perfect time to strike.

Last year’s Meet the Sooners event also resulted in a commitment from someone in the state of Texas with wide receiver John Humphrey declaring on that day.

With Cobb’s commitment, the Sooners are in great shape at cornerback, and it’s incredibly possible they won’t need to take another for the rest of the 2016 class.
