Oklahoma Keeps the State’s Top Prospect Home: Four-Star ATH Kamieon Compton-Nero Commits

A huge addition for Oklahoma’s 2028 class in the form of four-star athlete Kamieon Compton-Nero of Owasso, OK.

Compton-Nero is the No. 52 overall prospect in the 2028 class and the top-ranked player in the state of Oklahoma. He had been considering offers from Ole Miss, Alabama, Notre Dame, and SMU, among others, but ultimately decided to stay home in Norman.

“I am blessed to have had the opportunities to pursue my dreams and have so many schools and coaches believe in me through the recruiting process,” Compton-Nero said in his announcement. “With that being said, I am STAYING HOME for the next chapter of my life! SOONER NATION, I am coming with a MINDSET that never shifts… DEVELOP AND WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS! Boomer Sooner!”

That “staying HOME” line hits different when it’s the top player in the state saying it.

The Oklahoma staff, specifically safeties coach Brandon Hall, recruited Compton-Nero as a deep safety. The 6-foot-3, 195-pound athlete has plenty of speed and athleticism and the ball skills to play in the secondary for the Sooners.

This past fall for Owasso, after transferring in before his junior year, Compton-Nero played wide receiver and defensive back for the Rams. He caught 51 passes for 488 yards and four touchdowns, had a kickoff return for a touchdown, and on defense had 28 tackles and two interceptions.

As a sophomore at Rejoice Christian School in Owasso, Compton-Nero led the team to two consecutive Oklahoma Class A-I state championships as the starting quarterback for the Rams. In his sophomore year, Compton-Nero accounted for 3,335 total yards of offense and 49 touchdowns. On defense, the 6-foot-3, 195-pound athlete had 95 tackles, five interceptions, and three return scores.

The 6-foot-3, 195-pounder also plays basketball and runs track for Owasso. His personal bests on the track include 11.35 seconds in the 100-meter dash and 23.11 in the 200-meter dash. That type of speed would be a huge asset in the secondary for any program.

The commitment of Compton-Nero to the 2028 class for Oklahoma joins tight end Connor Arant, linebacker Jay Schell, quarterback Trey Tagliaferri, wide receiver Colton Fitzgibbon, and defensive lineman Logan Lokey.

The Sooner defense will feature many athletic, physical, and versatile players in the secondary. Kamieon Compton-Nero fits that mold perfectly. He has the size, speed, and ball skills of a safety, and the mindset of a winner.

His desire to come in and “Develop and Win Championships” with the Sooners is the exact mentality that Venables and his staff are looking for in the players they bring in to Oklahoma.

Keeping the top player in the state of Oklahoma home is always a big deal and the Sooners did that with the commitment of Kamieon Compton-Nero of Owasso. He is a high-upside piece in the secondary for the 2028 class and Brandon Hall and the Oklahoma staff did a great job of staying on him and selling him on Norman.
