Sperry, who initially starred at Prosper High School in Texas, announced this week that he is transferring to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, for his senior year. IMG Academy is known nationally as one of the premier high school programs, producing top-tier talent that regularly transitions to Power Five football and the NFL. For Sperry, this move is about taking his game to the next level and preparing for the demands of playing at a program like Oklahoma.
“This is all about development,” Sperry said in an interview following his announcement. “I want to compete with the best every single day, and IMG gives me the opportunity to face elite competition in practice, games, and workouts. I know that’s going to make me better and get me ready to step on the field in Norman.”
For Oklahoma, Sperry’s transfer is both exciting and encouraging. While the Sooners already know they’re getting a talented quarterback, this move demonstrates his dedication to perfecting his craft and being as prepared as possible for the collegiate level. IMG Academy provides state-of-the-art facilities, top-notch coaching, and a schedule loaded with high-profile matchups, all of which will put Sperry’s abilities to the test.
Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables and offensive coordinator Seth Littrell have maintained regular contact with Sperry since his commitment and are reportedly thrilled with his decision to challenge himself against some of the country’s best. The Sooners’ offense, which continues to evolve under Littrell’s leadership, is expected to lean heavily on a quarterback with elite decision-making, accuracy, and mobility — all traits Sperry has shown in abundance during his high school career.
The 6-foot-1, 200-pound quarterback is currently ranked as a top-10 player at his position and is considered one of the leaders of Oklahoma’s 2025 class, both on and off the field. His transfer to IMG will likely only raise his national profile and could push him even higher in the recruiting rankings as he faces off against premier competition.
For Oklahoma fans, this move is just another reason to be excited about the future. With Sperry already locked in as a future Sooner, his commitment to growth and excellence speaks volumes about his mentality and work ethic. As the Sooners prepare for their full transition into the SEC, having a quarterback like Sperry, who embraces challenges, could be exactly what they need to compete at the highest level.
The 2025 season is still over a year away, but with moves like this, the foundation is being laid for something special in Norman.
