2025 Four-Star WR Jaden Nickens commits To Oklahoma

Who is Jaden Nickens?

Jaden Nickens is a 4-star wide receiver from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He is currently 6-foot 3-inches and 190 pounds prior to his junior season in high school. At Millwood High School Nickens plays a mix of wide receiver and free safety. Away from school you can find him on the hardwood as he plays basketball for the Bradley Beal Elite in the AAU. Jaden Nickens committed to the Sooners over big name schools like Auburn, Ole Miss, and Texas A&m along with ten other D1 FBS programs.

What impact can Jaden have on the Sooners?

This makes the second 4-star wide receiver for the 2025 recruiting class with the first wone being Elijah Thomas. with now 5 commits in the 2025 class this puts the Oklahoma Sooners as the fourth overall class. Three of five of these commits have also been from the great state of Oklahoma so Coach Venerables is keeping Oklahoma talent at home and not letting them sneak out to play for Mike Gundy and his Cowgirls.

How quickly can he contribute?

Out of the wide outs on the roster currently six out of eleven of them are juniors and seniors. In 2025 these guys will all be gone but with a move to the SEC in the near future that will attract a ton of transfers and recruits. However, Jaden Nickens is as talented as anyone and could make his name known day one. He will compete with the best and Coach Emmett Jones will bring the best out of Nickens.

Scouting Jaden Nickens

Jaden is a young and physical wide out that can work on the inside and hashmarks. He does not have elite speed, but he has enough to cause enough separation from his defender. He is willing and able to block downfield like a tight end, but he can beat double coverage and high point a ball over both defenders. He is very quick coming out of his routes and he makes his way back to the quarterback every time it's needed, unfortunately you barely see this taught in high schools anymore.
