One of the state's most coveted receivers Arjei Henderson of FB Travis HS released a video on Twitter, announcing his commitment to the University of Oklahoma.

He will join another Houston-area product CeeDee Lamb of Foster next year in the Sooners' receiving corps. Henderson is a volume ball-catcher in the slot and is great in space.

Henderson has caught for over 2,500 yards and 30 touchdowns for the Tigers.

He originally committed to Oregon less than a year ago, but it seems that Norman, Oklahoma will be his school of choice.

Henderson wasn't the only haul for the Sooners.

FB Bush DB Jamal Morris also announced his commitment to Oklahoma through Twitter on Friday.

Morris is another 4-star prospect who, alongside teammate Erick Young, made up one of the best defensive backfields in Houston.
