Spanish Fork’s Star Defender Picks Cougars Over Sooners

The University of Oklahoma pursued consensus 4-star edge rusher Uhila Wolfgramm from Spanish Fork, Utah, late in the recruiting cycle, offering him on March 31. Wolfgramm visited Norman in late May and praised the Sooners’ family atmosphere but ultimately opted to join BYU. Listed as the No. 105 overall prospect for 2027 by 247Sports, he tallied 36 tackles, 20 tackles for loss, and nine sacks in just eight games during 2025. Wolfgramm’s commitment gives BYU another blue-chip talent as the Cougars aim to build on their recent Big 12 Championship Game appearance, leaving Oklahoma with two prospects from Utah in the 2027 class—still ranked fourth nationally despite the loss.

In a shocking plot twist worthy of a daytime soap opera, Oklahoma finds itself one DE short of a Utah hat-trick after Wolfgramm’s daring escape to Provo. Sooners fans, having meticulously prepared celebratory “hat trick” signs, were left hatless and heartbroken—despite the team still boasting an A+ recruiting class. Meanwhile, BYU quietly built an all-star roster while Oklahoma’s recruiters frantically Googled “how to win friendships and influence edge rushers.” One can almost hear the Sooners’ athletic department drafting a heartfelt letter to Santa asking for better luck in next year’s cycle.
