Gage Mayfield / Forward / 6-8 / Northport, Ala. / Hale County HS
The 6-8, 220-pound Mayfield is the owner of a 7-foot-1 wingspan and is regarded as the nation's No. 57 overall player by ESPN and No. 59 by 247Sports. The consensus four-star recruit is ranked the No. 1 player in Alabama by all three outlets and the country's No. 12 small forward by 247Sports.
From Northport, Ala., Mayfield was a 2024-25 all-state selection and led Hale County High School to an area championship. He averaged 17.9 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game for the Wildcats.
"The thing right away with Gage is his length and athleticism, and how those traits allow him to affect the game," said Moser. "For us, we're trending toward those long wings, especially now that we're in the SEC. He's also got very good ball skills for a player his size. He's able to bring it up in transition and his shot is improving daily.
"Defensively, he's really solid with that incredible wingspan. And he fits us because of how we're trying to create offense with our defense. He's blessed with his anticipation and motor, two vital intangible attributes."
Playing for the Pro One squad last spring and summer in the Under Armour Association, Mayfield was named Breakout MVP and earned second-team all-circuit honors after averaging 13.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 steals per contest. During the spring-only circuit, he was named defensive MVP.
"Gage is such a great young man to be around," added Moser. "He's got the kind of energy on the court and in the locker room that's contagious, and our staff immediately connected with him. He's going to be a great fit and we're super excited he's a Sooner."
Mayfield, who committed to OU in September, chose the Sooners over Florida State, Michigan, Tennessee and Vanderbilt.
