IMG Academy (Fla.) has sent plenty of offensive lineman to top power four programs throughout the years. An SEC commit announced on Saturday that he’s now heading to the Sunshine State to play with the Ascenders next season.

Soon-to-be senior and Oklahoma three-star interior offensive lineman commit Will Conroy is transferring from Cleveland St. Ignatius to the Ascenders, he announced via social media.

“Announcing the next chapter of my journey; I will be attending IMG Academy,” Conroy wrote on X. “To St. Ignatius, Very grateful for the man I have become. Special thanks to my coaches, teachers and especially my teammates. All hail the blue and gold. Blessed and excited for this opportunity.”

Conroy will join a stacked roster in Bradenton that includes the likes of four-star offensive tackle Keenyi Pepe, four-star IOL Breck Kolojay and four-star IOL G’Nivre Carr. The last two years have seen Five-Star Plus+ OT Jordan Seaton (Colorado) and five-star IOL Michael Carroll (Alabama) leave the Ascenders as top-ranked recruits.

IMG compiled a 8-2 record this season, finishing as the No. 23 team in the nation and the No. 4 team in the state of Florida, according to the On3 Composite Rankings.

Conroy is the No. 369 overall prospect and No. 36 IOL in the 2026 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was also the No. 18 junior in Ohio this fall.

He pledged to the Sooners earlier this month on Dec. 16 and is one of three prospects in the mix early on for Brent Venables, Bill Bedenbaugh and Co. The culture in Norman stood out in a big way for the 6-foot-3, 275-pounder.

“Right after I got the offer, I visited for a spring practice and I loved it at Oklahoma,” Conroy told On3. “I went back for the Tennessee game and it was one of the best environments in the country. I knew when I decided that I wanted to be in a true college town, and Norman encapsulates that. The fan base is passionate about Oklahoma and I love it there.”

“I love the culture at Oklahoma. One thing about Oklahoma is, they know who they are. They stand on that and they don’t change for anyone. It is a storied program with a lot of history and you feel that as soon as you walk into the building.”
