Modified Jul 13, 2024 11:30 GMT

Lewisville (TX) offensive tackle Michael Fasusi is one of the most highly-touted players of the 2025 class yet to announce his commitment. The five-star prospect has received offers from over 40 schools and will make his decision on August 21.

Fasusi ranks as the No. 32 player in the nation, No. 7 offensive tackle, and No. 8 player in Texas, per On3. 247Sports ranks him as the No. 27 player in the nation, No. 5 offensive tackle and No. 8 player in Texas. A standout in Texas District 6-6A as a sophomore, Fasusi also competes in track, excelling in the shot put and discus.

Let's take a look at which five programs made it to Fasusi's top five.

Programs in contention for Michael Fasusi

#5. Oregon

Oregon has had Michael Fasusi on campus twice and could get an official visit during the season. The Ducks are also targeting Trey McNutt and DJ Pickett for the 2025 class. Fasusi spoke to On3 about Oregon's program:

“Oregon has a great environment up there. The staff is great too and I really like the people."

#4. Missouri

The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine gives Missouri a 1.3% chance to land Fasusi's commitment. Missouri has already hosted Fasusi for an official visit, which left an impression on him (via 247Sports):

“My official visit to Missouri went great. Me and my family loved what we saw up there. They made me and my family feel comfortable. And their message was clear: They want to develop me to be the best offensive tackle and an academic weapon.”

#3. Oklahoma

Oklahoma has been a frequent destination for Michael Fasusi, with his most recent trip being from June 14-16 for an official visit. The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine gives Oklahoma a 3.4% chance to land his commitment.

“I like the development opportunity at Oklahoma under coach Bill Bedenbaugh. Then it feels like family there and I like the culture.”

The Sooners have additional connections to Fasusi through Sean Hutton, a close friend and Lewisville's starting center, who committed to the program last month. Even Fasusi's former teammate, Jaydan Hardy, is a freshman on the Sooners' roster after being part of their 2024 class. These relationships could play a crucial role in Fasusi's decision.

#2. Texas A&M

Texas A&M also made a strong case during Michael Fasusi's visit on June 6, and the Aggies have a 28.6% chance of earning his commitment, as per On3.

“It starts with the community at Texas A&M. I like coach Mike Elko and coach Adam Cushing a lot. Coach Elko did a great job at Duke and I know he is going to do big things at Texas A&M.”

#1. Texas

Texas stands out as the frontrunner in Michael Fasusi's recruitment due to multiple visits and a deepening relationship with the coaching staff. His official visit to Austin from June 21-23 also strengthened his affinity for the Longhorns.

“I love Texas, man, I’ve been there a lot of times," Fasusi told SI. "They never fail to impress me and my family. It’s always love when we go down there, there’s never a bad feeling there or nothing."

The bond he has developed with Texas offensive line coach and offensive coordinator Kyle Flood has been crucial to his positive outlook toward the program.

“With Coach Flood, I really feel like he’s one of the guys that can for sure get me to the level that I aspire to be at, which is the NFL," he told On3. "Coach Sark, he’s always texting me and my family, showing love with them, so I love Texas, definitely.”

The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine gives Texas a 63.4% chance to land Fasusi.
