Tallahassee (Fla.) Robert F. Munroe Day School four-star safety and Oklahoma commit Makari Vickers was clearly happy with the Sooners’ performance in a 49-14 win over Nebraska. During Oklahoma’s game this morning, Vickers was pictured giving the ‘Horns Down’ sign.

Vickers committed to Oklahoma over Alabama and Michigan on Aug. 26. He spoke with On3’s Chad Simmons about his decision to choose the Sooners.

“I feel the most at home at Oklahoma,” Vickers said. “Oklahoma is not just a program that speaks about being a family… the family vibe is real at Oklahoma… I have been there, seen it, felt it, and I am ready to be part of that Oklahoma family.”

Vickers is the No. 87 overall prospect and No. 8 safety in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 17 player in Florida.

The 6-foot-1, 189 pound defensive back has an On3 NIL Valuation of $141K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. 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.

The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Makari Vickers:

“Well-rounded safety prospect with athleticism and ball skills. Has a good combination of size and speed. Measured at 6-foot-1, 190 pounds as a junior. Was a state finalist in the 100 meters as a junior, running a 10.89 second mark. Plays all over the field for his high school, making plays as a safety, receiver and return man. Instinctive and makes plays on the ball in coverage.

“Can come down with contested grabs. A form tackler who finishes with physicality. Shows his athleticism when the ball is in his hands. Does not play tough competition. Lacks some length for the position. Younger for the cycle, turning 17 years-old in May of his junior year.”
