Four-Star WR Zion Ragins commits to Oklahoma

Four-star wide receiver Zion Ragins of Gray (GA) Jones County High announced his commitment to Oklahoma Tuesday afternoon.

The 5-foot-7, 153 pounder chose the Sooners over Florida State and Georgia.

Ragins on why he chose Oklahoma

“What really stood out would be the love and attention the coaching staff gives you. They made it feel like home right when I got there and I just got that feeling.”

Relationship with coaching staff + their plan for him

“I’m really close with coach V, coach Jones, and coach Duby. All of them are great men. They talk about using me in many ways. Just know it’s about to be an explosive offense!”

Ragins ranks as the No. 206 player in the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also tabs in as the No. 34 wide receiver and the No. 28 player in the state of Georgia.

The Peach State wide receiver joins coach Brent Venables and the Sooners’ top 20 class in the 2024 team rankings. He is accompanied by four-star wide receiver Zion Kearney, four-star tight end Davon Mitchell, and others.

Ragins currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $70K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Personal Life (via On3)

“Gray (Georgia) Jones County High School coach Mike Chastain has no doubt in his mind that Zion Ragins is among the fastest football players in the country. Chastain says Ragins was clocked as fast as 10.3 seconds in the 100-meter dash during his sophomore and freshman track seasons. But it’s not just his speed that makes him special. “He’s one of the most exciting players in Georgia and in the Southeast,” Chastain said. “He’s a touchdown waiting to happen every time he touches the ball.” When he’s not competing in sports, Ragins enjoys playing Madden. He plans on majoring in welding in college. His favorite snacks are zebra cakes. His parents are Daniela and Jamaal Ragins.”
